Newt Gingrich tweeted about the recent 60 mph straight-line winds in our nation’s capital, suburbs and neighboring states. “Friend and coauthor Bill Forstchen notes Washington-Baltimore blackout mild taste of what an EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) attack would do. Forstchen’s novel, One Second After, is an amazingly vivid story of small town’s struggles after all electricity has been destroyed by EMP.” (Daniel Halper, the weekly Standard, July 2, 2012)

Since utilities in Ohio, Virginia, and Maryland described damage to their power grids as catastrophic, it was painfully evident that nobody was or is prepared for a potential disaster from a powerful storm, much less a solar flare, cyber-attack, or an electro-magnetic pulse (EMP).

To handle the demand, utilities brought crews from out of state to work on the power grid. A quite common occurrence, straight-line winds brought down trees and the nation’s capital to its knees. The D.C. “Department of Transportation reported that 69 trees had fallen on public space, although not in roadways.” Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski, Maryland Democrat, said, “In terms of federal assistance, this is unprecedented. We will have to look at how to do that.”(The Washington Times, July 1, 2012)

If Mother Nature created such havoc with straight-line winds that unprecedented federal assistance was necessary, what would happen if a hurricane hit or a Trojan virus attacked the Smart Grid?

Stephen Moore of the Wall Street Journal said in his column, “sweltering in the dark is a glimpse into America’s future if the “greens” have their way. Electrical power is the central nervous system of our modern economy. Yet every initiative by green groups is focused on reducing our access to electrical power.” (When the Moore Family Lost Power, WSJ, July 4, 2012)

Clean and renewable energy, like wind and solar, only provide 3 % of our electricity, far short of powering the largest economy on earth. After billions of dollars of subsidies in solar and wind energy, companies are still going bankrupt, long after Solyndra LLC’s demise. The excuse is that they cannot compete against the Chinese. Recently, Abound Solar Inc. of Loveland, Colorado, suspended operations and sought bankruptcy in Wilmington, Delaware, after receiving $400 million in Department of Energy loan guarantees.

Chuck Neubauer said that Nevada Geothermal Power, with a $98.5 million loan guarantee from the Obama administration, had financial problems (substantial debt and not enough cash generated from its operations) and the auditors were wondering whether it could stay in business.

What most people have avoided discussing is the fact that the power grid is very vulnerable to disruptions and “catastrophic failure,” particularly the Smart Grid. Currently, not everyone is attached to the Smart Grid because the Smart Meters installation has not been completed.

Some citizens who know what Smart Meters are and do, reject them on the basis of intrusion into their lives without a search warrant; health issues from constant radiation, and loss of control to the power company to shut off electricity during peaks of consumption, usually very hot and very cold days.
