Secure the Grid

The U.S. electric grid is America's most critical - and most vulnerable - infrastructure. A single successful attack, whether electromagnetic pulse, cyber, or physical, could collapse everything that depends on it: water, food, medicine, communications, and emergency services. For months. Possibly years. This is not a fringe concern. It is the documented conclusion of the Congressional EMP Commission, national security experts, and decades of research. @SecureTheGrid exists to close that gap — through education, policy advocacy, and public awareness. If you understand the severity of this threat, help us reach more Americans. Like and share our content when you see it. It costs nothing and it genuinely matters. Thank you for helping us protect America's lifeline. centerforsecuritypolicy.org securethegrid.com

It's Time for FERC to Hold NERC Accountable on Grid Security. NERC sets the reliability standards for America's electric grid - but those standards have consistently failed to address the most serious threats we face: EMP, geomagnetic disturbance, physical attack, and cyber intrusion. FERC has the authority to direct NERC to strengthen these protections. It's time they use it. The grid can't wait for another near-miss to become a catastrophe.

The late Dr. Peter Pry- former CIA analyst and Executive Director of the Congressional EMP Commission warned that China has developed super-EMP weapons capable of melting the U.S. power grid with a single high-altitude detonation. Congress created the EMP Commission in 2001. It's 2026 and we still haven't hardened the grid. 25 years of warnings. Zero protection.

This is exactly why the Secure the Grid Coalition exists. Chinese kill switches aren't hypothetical, they've already been found. The FBI and CISA have explicitly confirmed that a Chinese state-sponsored group, Volt Typhoon, spent years secretly embedding disruptive malware directly into U.S. energy and water systems, just waiting for the order to flip the switch. If a foreign adversary can flip a switch and black out America, we don't have a grid. We are a hostage.

In 2013, Snipers Attacked a U.S. Power Station. No One Was Ever Caught. In 2013, gunmen opened fire on the Metcalf transmission substation in California for 19 minutes. They knocked out 17 transformers. Nobody was caught. Most Americans have never heard of it. The grid is a soft target, and that was proven over a decade ago.

How long could you survive without power? No lights. No water. No phones. No hospitals. No fuel. No food supply chain. The U.S. electric grid makes everything else possible, and right now, it's not protected against the threats that matter most.

Dr. Peter Pry was one of the foremost voices on the EMP threat and dedicated his life to warning this nation about our grid's vulnerabilities. His work with the Congressional EMP Commission remains foundational to everything we do here at STG. The world lost a giant, but his mission continues. Thank you for sharing this.

This is a HUGE deal - and only one of numerous threats being ignored by government and industry.

“We imported this massive 500,000-pound electric transformer from China,” says Tommy Waller. “They found hardware in it that had the ability for somebody in China to switch it off.” theepochtimes.com/us/us-electric…

20 April is when @JenGranholm must make critical recommendations on the now-suspended "Executive Order Securing the U.S. Bulk-Power System." Thank you @Sen_JoeManchin and @lisamurkowski for sending her to the Senate for confirmation! THE CLOCK IS TICKING! centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2021/02/08/the…

New grid threat: Russia deploys ‘first strike weapon,’ China ready too. Enemy nations with the weapons “could blackout North America and NATO Europe, and win World War III at the speed of light," said Peter Vincent Pry's report. washex.am/3t3vDLW

Two Louisiana lawmakers got it right! @SenJohnKennedy and @RepClayHiggins have filed legislation that would designate utility line technicians as emergency response providers in the wake of disasters. Yes, those who keep the lights on are unsung heroes! securethegrid.com/the-unsung-her…

"The US, the most benign and humanitarian nation in history, was willing to strike Japan with its nuclear might to achieve victory. What might dictators in Moscow, Beijing, Pyongyang or Tehran do against a nuclear-weakened and deeply-demoralized America?" washingtontimes.com/news/2020/aug/…

@AthertonKD Since @ForeignPolicy refuses to publish any of the educational resources provided to them by our Coalition and since all you gave your followers was a screenshot, here's the link for them to read for themselves why your analysis is deeply flawed. centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2020/08/05/emp…

Here's long-form critique that is wholly unfamiliar with my work, appears to have completely missed the entire "high-altitude EMP will be treated as a nuclear attack and responded to as such" argument, and equates battlefield-scale anti-electronics like CHAMP with nuke-EMP

It's very unfortunate that @AthertonKD and @ForeignPolicy have chosen to ridicule and downplay what is a REAL and PRESENT threat to America and our infrastructure. Dr. Peter Pry explains just how misinformed they are in this excellent article. Read here: centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2020/08/05/emp…

America's Constitution is just as important to protect as its electric grid. #Antifa has already attacked internet and rail infrastructure in France. Learn TODAY how #AntifaDomesticTerrorists threaten AMERICANS here at home: judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/the-r…
