Red China's Threat To The U.S. Electric Grid

The Chinese Communist Party is a significant cyber threat to the U.S. electrical grid.

All have demonstrated their ability to inflict electric grid harm in countries throughout the world, including the United States.

Of course, the biggest threat to the American grid is "Us." To quote Pogo from Walt Kelly's famous 1970 cartoon on humans causing pollution--"We have met the enemy, and he is us." Our U.S. government's multi-trillion dollar mandated green energy transition is taking away resources necessary to upgrade and secure our existing grid and power sources.

Electric vehicle charging technology can be hacked, affecting the grid.

Installed at a power plant, transformers "Step up" the DC voltage so that it can be efficiently transmitted along high voltage grid power lines.

The U.S. power grid spans more than 7,300 power plants, 55,000 transmission substations, and 160,000 miles of high-voltage power lines, making the grid a soft target for terrorists.

Instead of spending trillions of dollars on intermittent power sources of wind and solar, electric vehicles, and batteries, the government should be investing in strengthening the electric grid.
