Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main vulnerabilities of the US power grid?

The US power grid is aging and falling apart, with cybersecurity measures lagging behind evolving threats. It also suffers from infrastructure obsolescence, using 1970s server technology, and a critical dependency on foreign manufacturing for components like transformers.

How could non-kinetic attacks destabilize the US?

Future conflicts may focus on non-kinetic attacks. Disabling essential systems like power, food distribution, and water is seen as more effective than direct combat for destabilizing a nation, leading to rapid societal breakdown.

What are the immediate consequences of losing electricity?

The immediate consequences of losing electricity include the failure of gas pumps and water systems. A dehydrated and hungry population loses the ability to fight or organize, leading to widespread societal collapse.
