The government certainly has the money to fix it yet lgbt, Israel and Ukraine are more important to electricity to its citizens

Grew up and lived in SoCal for 30+ years. Suffered brownouts almost every summer.

Have lived in Japan the last 6 years on a Nuclear Power grid. Even after 3 hurricanes and 2 major earthquakes, not one power outage. Not one.

Preparing for an EMP grid down scenario is the most difficult task anyone will face. It could easily be a multi-year long outage and about 90% of us would be dead in a year.

As a prepper this is old news. Glad this reality is seeping into the hive mind. Major grid down for extended period will kill millions. Your best prep is your spiritual and physical health.

Pat I work in the power industry and I can tell you first hand that a lot of the power lines I work on they are from the 60s/70s but in some places the power grid and line are from the 30s/40s. Definitely need more funding and preparation for events like this

[iamkesha.]

It is irritating how the people who are pushing EVs are ignoring updating the grid that is needed to power our society.

[sixonevlog]

My greatest concern when these happens, are social unrest, when people start raiding homes out of desperation, taking what you have.

[toddtheisen]

Rural folks prepare for power outages, food shortages and water supplies on a daily basis. City people problems are sure different.

Why weren’t you born in the US, Patrick? We need you as the president.

[steeldriver]

We’re too busy buying out other governments to be worried about basic necessities here.

[Winnspeed]

My brother and I have been in the utility industry for 20 years, worked all over the United States…….if Americans only knew.

During the first 6 months of COVID, i said, " You think this is bad? Wait until there is an internet shutdown."

[lorenzomunisami]

In South Africa we already experience this on a daily basis. Loadshedding

[syncrovanCos]

0:24 Actually, yes, many people out there did expected something like that and a bit more, but they were called "conspiracy theorists", while they called themselves "preppers". You can still find their old videos related to similar subject. Aaron Russo also talked about such events in his last interview with Alex Jones in 2007, referring as "invisible enemies".

[tsidiarch]

South Africa has had loadshedding for almost ten years, cycling the energy with 2-4hrs of no power per day at catastrophic results for the economy. This was done as a mitigation against grid collapse… kinda like limping along, than total collapse. All because the government slept on the job of upgrading the grid and building new power stations when they were advised to. I cannot imagine what that would mean for the US.

One Second After
Novel by William R. Forstchen

This novel really summarizes Pat's point on an exploited power grid.

[maryfrawley]

One thing you missed is that most people are not prepared and after three weeks, marauders will be coming for your food and fuel. Defense of your property and self is paramount in prepping.

[northwestWW]

Honestly a c minus is generous. I work in the power trade and I tell everyone to get a generator. The system is much much more vulnerable. Since Covid we cannot get system critical parts for years.

[jesshorn]

Preppers have been thinking of this for decades...we have dry food, generators, water, fuel, medical, ect... about time mainstream start thinking about this stuff also.

[Jonnyrockin]

About ten years ago, I worked on a power grid visualisation project for a defence contractor. The big one. My client said that... They have identified 3 unique huge transformers in the North eastern grid that are not immediately replaceable. It needs to be built from scratch. A hacker would only need to loop power back into these three nodes to put the North East into a 9 month black out.
