Mon Feb 28, 2022, 12:46 AM: 60 Minutes had a segment on how easy it is to bring down our power grid.

I believe they said only 9 substations across the country would need to be knocked out, to bring down all the power across the U.S.

They could knock them out either digitally, or with planes, bombs, drones, etc.

Now that it appears Russian banks have tanked, putin may want his revenge (that was my line, not 60 Minutes).

Very scary stuff.
