Reports warn of disabling attacks to U.S. power grid that could wipe out “democracy” and the “world order”

A pair of reports released in the past month from two separate federal entities both warn of dire, devastating consequences from the destruction or disabling of a substantial portion of the U.S. power grid.

Lava from active Hawaiian volcano threatens geothermal power plant

Active volcanoes aren’t something to be ignored no matter where they’re located, but when they occur on a small, compact — and populated — island, then cause for concern rises exponentially.

It’s looking more and more like it will take a major attack against the U.S. power grid before the government and electric industry come together and get serious about protecting it.

Dakota Access Pipeline protests were promoted by Russian operatives to disrupt the U.S. energy economy

Americans can and should have an honest, open debate about our continued use of fossil fuels and whether we should adopt a whole-of-country approach to developing clean energy sources for the future (I believe we should).

Over-the-top environmental activism against coal-fired power plants leaves New Englanders FREEZING as grid teeters on failure

No one in their right mind wants to breathe dirty air or leave our country and our earth worse off for the next generation and beyond.

There may be more to North Korea’s latest nuclear test than meets the eye if the country’s state-run media is to be believed, and it has huge implications for preppers.

Left-wing environmental groups advancing Russian energy agenda as they fight against U.S. fracking and pipelines

Americans can and do have reasonable disagreements over hydraulic fracturing — “fracking” for short — and the construction of gas and oil pipelines, because of their potential to cause harm to the environment. But at a time when everyone is increasingly concerned about Russian influence over our 2016 presidential election, we should all agree that […]

Advisory panel says “cyber 9/11” against critical infrastructure is extremely likely — why you need to prepare for it NOW

An industry advisory group just issued the latest dire warning regarding America’s extremely vulnerable critical infrastructure: We are living in “a pre-9/11 moment” and we’re running short on time to dramatically improve cyber security before someone — a nation-state, a terrorist group or a lone actor — decimates it. As reported by NextGov, a new […]

Why you can no longer put off prepping for hacks and takedowns of ALL U.S. infrastructure

Unbeknownst to most Americans, there is a conference that takes place in Las Vegas every single year that draws the most competent, capable hackers in the world. For four days they meet to discuss and demonstrate the latest techniques they’ve discovered (and likely used) to essentially disrupt as much of modern society as possible. In […]
