It’s fiction, basic electronic hardening would make that style of attack moot. To really do it on that level of a US take down, the fallout from all the bombs needing to be launched would be a much worse issue than no electricity.
If you want to take down the grid, targeting the large transformers at plants and major substations would be the way to do it. We have temporaries and backups, but if you hit enough of them in one go it takes 18 months+ to go through the process of buying and installing them right now.

Are you denying that Chinese people have slanty eyes?

The movie ‘leave tomorrow behind’ was pretty good and had a modern twist on what could occur. My biggest actionable takeaway was we should learn to speak Spanish.
Over the years my view on prepping has evolved. Currently, I am leaning towards the if you can survive a month or two, you will be among the small percentage who survive. This would entail hiding with your supplies as the masses kill each other over the remaining cans of ravioli. After a month or two, the survivors will mostly be self reliant hard working people (maybe 10-20%) and there will be enough resources to go around.

Which is why we need to stop the Russian invasion.
China's a threat to Russia too. We should have been giving China the north Korean treatment for the last 20 years.

And guess which foreign entity is buying land next to power plants.

being reported it was not a cyberattack but a “rare atmospheric phenomenon”

Seriously with canes we know it’s coming, we know it’s very temporary, we still have coms, water, sewerage and we know it won’t be Betsy or Camille like (6-8 weeks no power)
Even on gulf coast it would be chaos in 48 hours or less

Ha, sure Jan.
We know when solar storms are coming before they hit.

It’s not a solar storm.
Apparently it’s varying temps across the grid and the system cannot manage it.

Of course it is. They fricking suck.
They lie to save face.
They are nothing more than a El Salvador on Steriods now.
Europe is for the birds.

agreed. Sounds like a lazy play to blame climate change instead of owning up to poor preparation and operation.
