"The Chinese have attempted to map our infrastructure, such as the electrical grid,"
So as to learn what NOT to do?
In the last two big nor'easters I've spent half a week without electricity each. That's not what I would consider first world infrastructure. Winter happens - predictably so, it's time we stop being surprised by it.
- josefresco 18y agoGet a generator. I live in the Northeast US too and it took only 1 snow storm with no power (or water) for 5 days to take the plunge. Your problems are more local than 'national'. I agree we have problems all around, but your personal experience does not reflect the national challenges we face with our grid.

However, I've heard pretty much the same story about predictable outages from other parts of the country like the Midwest. Obviously the south has hurricanes, but I'm not sure even hurricanes should cause long term outages.
