    Yes because they literally buy out those countries or part of them (oh yeah we are helping youre country financially to keep the war going) and plan to use theyre resources. That is the system american government do for decades. Have You ever asked youre government how many nuclear rockets they found in the previous conflict countries - i can answer you right away NONE - but do you know what they did find...GOLD/GAS/OIL. American government is a parasite a leech which sucks from all countries around it. Asia, europe and Africa 🌍 are tired from this systematic bullying. And how many dead from these artificial conflicts on both sides. 😔 Just to sell more weapons. So if wars doesnt do the job, lets go to the next level - pharmacy companies...

How many MWs have we lost over the last 10 years vs what we gained?....and what kind of MWs have we replaced them with. You have the DOE (Department of Energy), over the FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission), and the NERC (North American Energy Reliability Commission), all imposing rules and laws onto the ISO's (Independent System Operators), TO's (Transmission Owners), and GO's (Generation Owners) all while not listening/reading/understanding the bad reports from the front lines. This is killing the business (Loss of MWs) and the reliability of the system right along with it. I predict, within the next 5 years we will have rolling brown and blackouts due bad governance and over bureaucracy.

    The electric grid is a necessity for this type of government and western lifestyle. Both cease to exist without it.

Every time I have left a SHTF area, it has always been faster on foot and I have always beat vehicle traffic to the destination. All except for helicopters, but I digress. Electric cars aren’t viable or scalable to begin with, so this really is a nonissue. Mandated kill switches on all cars is something tangible and already underway.

    I am glad I am not the only one concerned about this as I work for a local power plant as an electrical engineer. I have gotten to experience the process that we go through to get our devices updated. I am echoing what other people are saying here, but some of the equipment we are using is from the 40's and 50's and is extremely unreliable. Thankfully we are working to replace that equipment but it is crazy that they let it go so long before doing any thing about it. I think the best thing that people can do is be aware of who is in charge of running the the grid in there area. There are smaller co-ops and government run systems as well as larger sometimes for profit organizations who own the power system. With this knowledge people can contact them and educate themselves and hopefully complain enough to the people running these entities that the make the needed upgrades. Though this will be an extremely slow process as the grid is massive and all of the equipment is extremely high cost.

    I work for the utiltiy company with the most line miles in the country. I work in the data area and It’s scary we have to replace nearly 80% of the grid we have built since 1900 by the year 2030 or we may have rolling blackouts. It’s different on each grid but PJM(Midwest) ERCOT(basically Texas), and California ISO are all at risk for rolling blackouts unless we build more infrastructure. And due to higher interest rates these projects are slowing down and many companies including Siemens energy are having to sell off some of their generation projects because they are so over budget. Only way this will get solved is through lowering interest rates and gov giving grants and other incentives to build it out. However that’s going to cause customer rates to increase and it will cost Americans more $$.

    Thank you for being the first person to bring this up! Finally someone is talking about this. This is the MOST serious threat we face and not a single news outlet or social platform anywhere wants to discuss it. We are so vulnerable here and though your reporting on it is really helpful yet not even close to explaining how serious it is. If our grid goes down for any length of time it will be worse than any horror movie could ever possibly depict. Think The Purge time a hundred or a thousand. The most important thing is exactly what Patrick said, start bring it up to everyone you can and raise awareness. THE GOOD NEWS IS: It is completely fixable, we know how to harden our grid to prevent this kind of vulnerability. And as others have commented, we have the money to fix it…or more accurately, we’re spending much more money on foreign affairs. We can and MUST fix our grid. Congress even knows how to do it, they’re just not being pressed on it by the people so they’re not acting. This is fixable. Let’s work together on raising awareness at a government level by talking to everyone we can about it

    As messed up as loadshedding is, at least you can plan around it. As our american luck would have it, they would crash the grid and let it stay crashed for an indefinite amount of time unfortunately. Correct me if I'm wrong, but loadshedding is a contingency to prevent the grid crashing. At this point we should be loadshedding here in the US also, but we're not. So we're on the way to a full crash.

    I had a fire in 2014 so I'm not totally in the dark about what has to be done in a power outage. You need to remember, in a total grid down situation you really have nothing. No electric, no NG,, no water, no fresh petrol, etc. You have what you have on hand. Remember if you are tied to city water and sewer it's common for the township or city to use pumps, not only for supply but to move the waste to the plant. It's usually madatory that the township has backup power for pumps but that will run out fairly quickly. People will stil be trying to flush their toilets and many areas the sewer and storm drains are common. Know your system, know what has to be done. Don't forget about sump pumps. Not only do sump pumps lose power in an outage they are often tied into the soil line, that is a breach if the sewer were to backup. You don't have to go crazy preparing but you do need the basics like heat (for yourself and to keep pipes from freezing), food, water, a way to cook, access to water, a way to boil water, a way to filter and purify water, a way to shower, a way to take a dump, a way to wash cloths, lighting, plenty of ammo, etc., etc.
