Grid Down, Power Up

2022

Documentary

IMDb Rating 9.1/10 10 46 46

Plot summary

Our power grid is at grave risk of shutting down completely. An orchestrated physical attack, electromagnetic pulse attack (EMP), cyber-attack, or geomagnetic disturbance (GMD) could shut down our electricity grid for as long as one calendar year or longer. Our electric utility companies have not implemented sufficient precautions to protect our grid, yet they are aware of the dangers. Our state and federal officials are aware of the threat a shutdown poses, yet they haven’t passed any legislation that deals with the threat. This documentary helps us understand the threat, why it has become a threat, and demonstrates how we can fix this problem.

Must watch

The biggest threat to the US is EMP and it could be solved, completely for less than $50 billion. This kind of of money is easily available from federal, state, and private parties.

This great documentary outlines the problems and solutions very clearly.

Dennis Quaid is great as a serious documentarian and the sources cited are rock solid. If you don't understand how electric grids work and how they are vulnerable, you will in short time while watching this.

It's a bipartisan problem and the solution is bipartisan. This documentary is nonpartisan and and lays out the problems clearly. Too important to ignore.
