> What's particularly different about these compared to the thousands of miles of existing power and pipeline infrastructure? Don't know; it just seems as though the greater the interdependency between geographically-separated modules in a system, the greater the chances that damage to one module can take down remote modules and perhaps even the entire system. Example: Oceangoing vessels are generally designed with watertight compartments, so that damage and flooding in one compartment won't necessarily doom the whole ship — as happened to the Titanic, which sank in part because its transverse internal bulkheads didn't extend high enough to prevent seawater spillover from the iceberg-damaged sections to undamaged sections as the ship started to sink by the bow.[0] Example: The Great Texas Blackout in February 2021 resulted in part from electrical power being knocked offline for some natural-gas compression facilities, which resulted in still-other electrical-generation facilities, powered by natural gas, failing for lack of fuel.
