In a new report, the SAFE Grid Security Project warns the US grid faces increasing risks from extreme weather, cyberattacks, and inadequate infrastructure as energy demands grow more complex.

      Tiny lot + aforementioned old growth trees means that’s also not viable. :( My “best” option (which I have) is a nat gas backup generator for when the grid goes down. It’s expensive, and very much NOT a clean energy source, but it’s what I have to work with. I work 100% from home and need full-time power.
