Grid Down, Power Up (2022)

Plot

The stability of our power grid hangs by a thread, facing threats from physical attacks, electromagnetic pulses (EMP), cyber intrusions, and geomagnetic disturbances (GMD) that could plunge the nation into darkness for a year or more. Despite the looming danger, electric utility companies have failed to adopt adequate safeguards, while state and federal officials remain inactive, neglecting to pass necessary legislation. This eye-opening documentary explores the root causes of these vulnerabilities and highlights actionable solutions to safeguard our electricity infrastructure against potential catastrophic failures.
