Yes, but let’s say we are in a state of war, this order admits the grid has massive vulnerabilities, actors are documented attempting to exploit these vulnerabilities, and the threat is legitimate enough to issue an executive order protecting our grid and stopping all foreign dependence.

Something is fucky.
 Quoting: AmericanSpyglass


Trump knows the Deep State fuckers planned to zap us all with ultra-powerful 5G shit that they've been secretly installing all over the place for years. He just took away their ability to turn that destructive shit on. Don't believe me? Take a good look at the streetlights in your city. They're all LED's now and have thick black antennas sticking out of the top. That's weaponized 5G infrastructure.

Is China considered an adversary? Because most our equip at our Nuc plant has China parts.

Nice observations in your response replies, Trump AT BEST (like every President) is in the middle- at worst he was a better choice than Clinton, and STILL the worst choice for the country. (In the US, we have a pluralist power structure -we learned about it in the 4th grade, and it's why EVERY President is always "In the Middle".)

What "they're" expecting; the war for the country is carried out in the careers of people who are not elected to office, and this is how it's shaping up:

I’m thinking worse case scenario. Let’s be practical there are millions of transformers in the United States. I dont have exact numbers but I am sure someone here knows. The point is, the power companies don’t have enough in storage to replace all of them, not to mention the manpower.

I also don’t know how an EMP or hack works exactly, but there are lots of other electronic devices that might need some help too.

Edit - it also takes weeks sometimes to restore power to a nation ravaged by a hurricane. We are fools to think an attack on the grid would be nothing similar.

They are the soul source of some very critical and very large transformers of which we have no spares, no ability to manufacture them, and it is about 18 months to build one. If several of these were taken out we would have rolling blackouts until it could be fixed

 Quoting: AmericanSpyglass


Yes, either he has recent intel on a planned attack on our Grid or he is correcting a decades long-known vulnerability.


I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find that foreign adversaries are increasingly creating and exploiting vulnerabilities in the United States bulk-power system, which provides the electricity that supports our national defense, vital emergency services, critical infrastructure, economy, and way of life. The bulk-power system is a target of those seeking to commit malicious acts against the United States and its people, including malicious cyber activities, because a successful attack on our bulk-power system would present significant risks to our economy, human health and safety, and would render the United States less capable of acting in defense of itself and its allies.

 Quoting: Lance Roseman From BC


The transformers are made in China and South America. They take 18-24 months to get on the "fast track". These are significant assets. Generally, there are no extras kept in stock.

I would not doubt the ability of American manufacturing to re-tool and produce this equipment if needed, but to my knowledge, we don't currently have the ability. That said, our grid is just that. It's a redundant electric system. It may not be impenetrable, but we can get it back up and running very quickly if needed.

I've spent most of my life working with electricity and our electric grid. My friends and co-workers understand how critical the service that we provide is to our community. We are your neighbors. We don't intend to let you down.

First off, our grid has been neglected and should've been hardened against EMP (man made or Sun induced) a long time ago.

Someone correct me but I swear I recall something about our big-ass aircraft that relied on Chinese electronics and w/in past few yrs have been stripped and re outfitted w/ tech to prevent major issues.

Hell, most of US infrastructure is in such bad shape, like our bridges.
