I hope you're right. When Klaus Schwab on the WEF talks about a cyber attacks coming and they have cyber polygon I pay attention. Just stay prepared. Anything can happen and these monsters have corporations on their side. Perfect opportunity for U.S. to point the finger at Russia or China for the outage.

It is the softest of all targets in civil strife. Ripe for targeted aggression or false flags, depending on whether the revolutionaries think hitting the grid will hurt the regime (they can't even keep the lights on!) or the regime thinks they can spin it into a propaganda victory (the revolutionaries want your grandmother to freeze to death in the dark!).

I can picture some scenarios under which it doesn't go down but is instead made too expensive for anybody who's not a member of the Party to afford.

Hell, lots of countries around the world in are the process of doing that right now by shutting down nuclear and then going all-in on renewable energy that only provides around 30-40% of the rated power.

Are you familiar with the 1859 CME? Now imagine the copper wires that caught fire back then now being inside most buildings too, not just on poles across the countryside.

Not only could the grid go down, any building that happens to contains electrical wires could catch on fire too.
