This article draws upon narratives and information in the author\u2019s book <\/em>Cyberwarfare: Targeting America, Our Infrastructure, and Our Future, Stairway Press, 2020.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider some inescapable self-inflicted scenarios from hell that government \u201cexperts\u201d never warned you about regarding utopian visions of carbon-free vehicles powered by friendly breezes and sunbeams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, imagine it\u2019s one of those warm, beautiful days when the first news breaks about a big hurricane or tropical storm heading your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You immediately begin thinking about stocking up on food supplies that don\u2019t require refrigeration and charging up your electric plug-in to get out of town in a hurry if necessary \u2026 just like, it seems, everyone else is doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or maybe, with no warning, \u201cpoof,\u201d<\/em> all power goes off because the grid is down for suspicious reasons no one fully understands or can inform you about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it turns out, a foreign adversary cyberattack precludes either of those previous options, plus an added problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with knocking out all power transformers, the malign hackers also took remote control of both autonomous and operator-controlled electric vehicles, jamming exit highways with colossal human and metal crash wreckage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In both cases, it\u2019s already too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first scenario, there isn\u2019t enough available electrical power to serve the broad hurricane zone. It has been in dangerously short supply since millions of EV cars and trucks have been added to an ancient grid that has depended upon natural gas turbines to balance fluctuating wind and solar loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that shutting down those fossil companies through \u201cnet-zero\u201d carbon policies didn\u2019t prevent extreme weather after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, extreme ideological EPA policies such as imposing costly, useless carbon capture requirements on those natural gas producers prevented energy companies from economically competing with heavily government-subsidized \u201cgreen\u201d fantasies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A March 2024 ruling adding heavy-duty trucks to its original all-electric light vehicle mandate dealt another crushing drain on already slim power margins: each one of them consuming seven times as much electricity on a single charge as a typical daily home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, your plug-in has no plug with any juice due to emergency rationing necessary to support medical care facilities and other critical services. And forget about any hopes of using municipal or commercial recharging stations, which have the same problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation soon becomes more expansive and dangerous as high winds have downed long transmission lines connecting remote wind and solar sites to the grid, sparking massive fires and extending regional power outages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deluges of rain have flooded metropolitan centers and small lowland communities, making them inaccessible for emergency rescue by now-useless electric ambulances, fire trucks, and police vehicles with depleted batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downed trees collapse local power lines, further blocking access and operations of similarly stranded maintenance crews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even then, circumstances could have been much worse with cyber scenario two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighbors and friends with battery backup radios finally inform you that one of three power grids serving the entire nation has been disabled by hackers of unknown geographic origin, with transmission connections to the other two intentionally switched off to prevent universal overload collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darkness soon descends everywhere around you except where backup energy generators temporarily powered by batteries and purloined natural gas provide isolated pockets of light that are soon extinguished as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hospitals are rapidly losing limited generator-supplied electricity to operate life-critical equipment. Meanwhile, primary power can\u2019t be restored any time soon due to melted power transmission lines and damaged turbines at the few remaining conventional fossil and nuclear power plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supplies of clean water are being depleted as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whereas metropolitan areas with high water towers atop high-rise buildings will have enough gravity flow to supply most basic living needs for, at best, a few days, when that runs out, taps will go dry, toilets won\u2019t flush, and emergency supplies of bottled water will become exhausted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mountains of uncollected waste, including human biological material, soon create a previously unimaginable unsanitary health crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are fortunate enough to live within walking distance of a nondepleted grocery, plan to use cash because the credit card system won\u2019t be operative. Ditto, any ATM machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In any case, those stores can\u2019t be restocked because of stranded EV long-haul and local delivery trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, police and fire responses who are busily engaged in rescuing people trapped in elevators and other emergency services have also become overwhelmed by widespread store looting by desperately hungry individuals and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As tens or hundreds of millions of others over many states share such chaotic dilemmas, there is no way of predicting when power will be restored. And whereas present weather and temperature conditions may be moderate, many of these regions \u2013 including yours \u2013 anticipate a coming winter home heating crisis that will put countless lives at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are few opportunities for people to leave for warmer climes. Personal EVs are useless, as are commercial EV buses and moving vans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contemplating either of such avoidably catastrophic scenarios might provide cause to seriously doubt those government experts who continue to warn us of climate change and extreme weather being our greatest threat, with the solution being to load our ancient, cyberattack-prone power grids with weather-dependent energy systems overloaded with voracious EV electricity consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, climate change isn\u2019t nearly as great as the threat presented by their own policies, with the best solution of all\u2026powerful winds of regime change sanity blowing through November voting booths before it is too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
