Canada’s Grid Future After U.S. Vulnerability | Winnipeg News
Description
A new NY Times report warns that just nine U.S. substations could collapse the entire electrical grid—taking up to 18 months to restore, since massive transformers take years to replace. The patchwork nature of the grid makes it dangerously vulnerable, as seen in 2013’s California substation attack and the 2003 Northeast blackout triggered by a tree. With U.S. grid failures easily spilling over into Canada, experts are urging us to build our own east-west Canadian grid—not just for power sharing, but for national security and energy independence.
