Electric Grid is a Serious But Fixable Issue

Senator Bob Hall has succinctly described the issue and established that solutions are available.Link

"The summit addressed a very real threat to the Texan way of life. While the failure of Washington to step up and protect against the EMP threat is bad news for our nation, the State of Texas remains in a unique position to act. Unlike the other 47 continental states, the grid in Texas is essentially a stand-alone system contained within its borders. Therefore, the Texas Legislature does not have to wait on Congress — and the Texas power companies do not have to wait on the power companies in other states — to secure our electrical grid and protect our people."

The City of Georgetown needs to understand the threat to it's citizens and take steps to help secure the Texas state grid and the local distribution system which is owned and operated by the city.
