It’s no secret that the U.S. power grid is one of the main foundations of the nation’s economy, infrastructure, and daily way of life. Now that almost everything is digitized, it is hinging on it even more. We wouldn’t be able to use even most vending machines (not to mention cell towers or the internet) without a working electrical supply, and the importance of keeping it safe cannot be understated.
Thankfully, a lot of positive changes have already been made. More remains to be done. As the issue is one of national concern – and yet still involves private power companies – the solution needs to come from both sides.
