Protect the Grid

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

Americans have discovered that Silicon Valley and much of the San Francisco Bay area literally dodged a bullet – or more precisely 110 of them – last April. The grace of God and quick thinking by control room operators narrowly averted disaster when an attack on an electric substation outside San Jose could have inflicted a protracted blackout on millions of us and our economy.

Four top Senate Democrats have written regulators asking what is being done to prevent a recurrence, possibly with vastly more devastating effects.

Unfortunately, as Judge Jeanine Pirro of Fox News has repeatedly warned, America’s power grid is extremely vulnerable to a variety of disruptions, including electromagnetic pulse and solar flares.
We don’t need more studies. We need the grid protected against all hazards. And we need it protected now!
