Guarding US power grid from destructive actors must involve, as primary labor, a community of users. The community, township, county, city, village, must be organized to secure vulnerable assets and become prepared for surviving prolonged loss there of. This is called Civil Defense, and exists in little more than name only. Think tornadoes, hurricanes floods, etc.

My daughter had a 48 hour blackout this summer - in a near suburb of the State Capitol. Remote working without internet was not an option and she took a her conventional vehicle to an infrequently attended , powered, corporate office.

CD must be broader than just the grid. Think municipal water/sewage, cell towers, food chains, petroleum storage/distribution, natural gas etc.

The energy and devotion that developed US must now be channeled into defense of the product. FAST! We all can’t move to Idaho. To quote someone: “I’d rather be three years early, that one day late.”
