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.

"[a]lternative power only exacerbates the pollution problem" - HAHAHAHAHAHA
Alternative power is a money grab. The only solution is upgrade existing nuclear plants and build new ones or to build multiple smaller modular nuclear plants. Alternative power only exacerbates the pollution problem which will only be dealt with when there is too much pollution to ignore.
take the money that you would use to "secure" the grid, and give in the form of tax rebates to homeowners and business owners to install batteries. That will make the grid a lot more resilient and also reduce the load of the grid by shaving peaks. protecting 100 year old grid against EMPs is the definition of a waste of money.
