CSP Informs Americans, Coast to Coast, on the Importance of Securing our Electric Grid

Center for Security Policy President & CEO, Lt.Col. Tommy Waller recently joined Coast to Coast AM radio to discuss the critical importance of safeguarding the electric grid in the United States. He emphasized the Center’s mission to provide “uncompromised analysis” on national security threats without being influenced by outside funding. Elaborating on the dire consequences of power outages, he recalled the experiences of medical professionals during Hurricane Katrina, noting, “Electricity is second only to air when it comes to human survival.” He cautioned that even brief outages can lead to chaos, as seen in recent storms where communities faced blackouts.

The conversation also touched on the interconnectedness of modern infrastructure, and how the failure of electricity can trigger a cascade of breakdowns in essential services, leading to societal unrest. Waller outlined six significant threats to the grid, including supply chain issues, government policies leading to blackouts, and cyberattacks. He also discussed the dangers posed by electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) and solar flares, which could severely disrupt the grid. “It’s fixable,” he said, advocating for the installation of neutral ground blockers to protect against geomagnetic disturbances, which could be achieved for just $4 billion– a fraction of the recent infrastructure bill. Waller expressed urgency in addressing these threats, warning, “If we don’t do something about it quickly…we could lose our civilization.” He concluded with a call to action, stressing that while solutions exist, “We’ve got to get started.”
