National power grid down one month......Lord of the Flies?

[Puma44]

Power companies going to build some concrete walls after last night.

….and surveillance cameras.  But, kinda of a standard scenario.  Instead of being proactive, react to the disaster after the fact.

Nothing can replace personnel on site.     

The amount of money saved by not paying people on site won't matter after the fact.

Same goes for using internet connected critical equipment.   

Put people on site.

I’ll bet it wouldn’t take much to cause a significant blackout event in California considering they are running near or over capacity.

and don't forget...they import about 46% of their electricity from other states.

i'm assuming this is in reference to the attack on the substations in north carolina?

 those aren't the first. i heard there were some in kalifornia also attacked recently. if i gotta be honest, i'm very surprised it took them this long to start hitting those.

now......

if something happened that the entire countries grid(s) went down....or even saaaayyyy.....just 1/3 of it.......there would be almost immediate rioting/looting. it would take at LEAST a week for any branches of the military to begin any form of effective patrolling. this would however be useless, as they are severely outnumbered, even when combined with the local/county/state law enforcement agencies.
 initially the rioting/looting will be just the same crap we've seen in the past with the blantifa morons. once they've realized that power's not coming back anytime soon, then the real "fun" starts, and many will die. the blantifa morons first, as they're not prepared for the resistance they'll encounter when they try raiding someones home and taking their food, followed by those who thought that they didn't need any specific tools or training as they squirl'd away their food/med supplies.

 this will take less than a month. and depending on what's been damaged to take it all down, it will be months or years before reliable power's restored

Charterer North Carolina had a substation shot up 3 weeks ago.   
Leaking coolant……etc.

One power station in N.C. was hit 3 weeks ago .
Four power stations were shot up November in Washington and Oregon.

Brings it to 7 stations shot in 1 month if you count Moore county for 2 stations…..which it was.

I thought this kind of things happen in Ukraine...

Milestones to the rescue!

You would think with the availability of drones, homemade terror weapons wouldn't be to difficult to piece together...

An organized attack on multiple targets at the same time would make it interesting quickly

The terror such attacks would create would crash the markets just as if it were 9/11 imo

Don’t trust a cheap generator below 12kw to run a well pump without damaging it.
