Grid failure is a real and imminent threat, a devastatingly deadly occurrence leading to life-threatening shortages of heat, food, and water. #ElectricalGrid #GridDown
Prepare because the odds of it happening are extremely high.

6 - 10 years to connect to the #electricalGrid in the UK? Maybe better to work #behindTheGrid or with battery storage from safe #LiFePo4 batteries.

Accelerationism is part of a broader white supremacist strategy to weaken our democratic government to the extent that they can replace it with an authoritarian one and implement genocidal policies against marginalised people.
"From 2016 to 2022, white supremacist plots targeting energy systems 'dramatically increased in frequency.
"11 of those defendants [who were associated with white supremacist movements] were charged after 2020 in federal courts with planning attacks on the energy sector.
"The study attributed the targeting of the energy sector to the rise of 'accelerationism,' [white supremacists'] desire to hasten the collapse of society."

During the first part of 2022, between January and August, there were a total of 106 attacks on the #ElectricalGrid, which was the highest number ever recorded in a single year.
Oddly enough, there was another attack just last week on the power grid in Las Vegas that went ignored by the national media.

Three power substations were attacked in the Puget Sound area this morning. Not 'vandalism', I'm sure.

Fascinating blog post about the increasing challenges #electricgrid s and power plant operators are facing due to the dynamics introduced into the system by prioritizing #renewables generation.

(I might mention that I am all for #renewableenergy .. but as someone with a bit more interest and education in science & technology than average I see challenges here that appear to be insufficiently addressed by current policies)

Vandals shot out power substations in North Carolina: https://www.npr.org/2022/12/04/1140647869/power-substations-north-carolina-gunfire-vandalism
Not mentioned in this article is a similar attack in rural California that occurred a few years back.
