Most of us take our power for granted. It gives us light, regulates temperature, provides medical assistance, helps produce food and enhances pretty much every aspect of our daily lives. But what if you no longer had access to electricity?
As things stand, the United States’ power grid is like a fragile eggshell on which the country balances and the smallest flaw, or crack in that shell can potentially cascade into disaster. Public utilities have a certain degree of redundancy designed into their systems, but attacks intentionally directed against these systems may be enough to knock them down like dominoes.
Now reports are suggesting that the U.S. power grid is much more susceptible to failure than previously thought. In fact, the grid is attacked over 100 times a year. Can we expect a massive electrical blackout in the near future?

Obama is the guy attacking the power grid by forcing coal plants to close. We need Clean Coal plants to keep the grid up. I was in Detroit around 1999 when the grid went down. It can happen. 3 days. No food….power…gas…etc.
Clean Coal is an important part of our power grid. Windmills and solar can help also.

Cole? Really? Your joking right?
Jerahme….no I’m not. I believe in using various methods of electricity production to keep costs low. Natural gas…Clean Coal….and Solar and Wind if possible. Nucleur is okay but in limited amounts. I have seen the grid go down. Not fun. Also….Clean Coal is quite a bit different than the old coal plants.
He still hasn’t been here to take my guns, guess he’s too busy fixing George W.’s mess.
