I haven't seen the documentary, but I believe the danger exists for an attack on our power grid. Is this documentary though a push for going "green"??

Dennis Quaid documentary 'Grid Down, Power Up' explores dangers of sudden electric grid failure

Actor Dennis Quaid is known for his multi-faceted roles on the silver screen, but he recently released a documentary about the prospect of a power grid outage that would send the United States "back to the 1880s."

Quaid joined "Jesse Watters Primetime" to discuss the documentary and explore the possibility of what he said could be caused by anything from terrestrial attacks on power stations to a Chinese balloon carrying incendiary payload over U.S. airspace.

Host Jesse Watters quipped that Quaid's latest venture "scare[d] the heck out of" him, while playing clips from the film.

In it, Quaid explains how the U.S. power grid is often overlooked in terms of its sensitivity and importance to daily life...........

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
I've read that if the recent solar flare had went our direction, it would have made the Carrington event look like a little backyard birthday party.
The Republic is lost.
