cyber attack

[Mortblanc]

Just about anything that will operate off paraffin will also use good vehicle grade diesel. Which means that any vehicle with diesel marked on the side of it is a potential home fuel storage unit. Even a vehicle that has run dry will have a quart of more of fuel which the fuel pump can not pick up.

And if you are concerned with the stink then you are not in a SHTF situation.

What people choose to complain about in a life or death situation is beyond my comprehension!

But as to the length of the disturbance, that is up for debate. If an attack shuts down the electrical grid that can be put right in a short time. If an attack overloads the grid and blows all of the main components of a system that could take a year!

Right now the U.S. is still trying to restore complete service to the Island of Puerto Rico after the hurricane that occurred one year ago. They have main lines in place but the outlying areas are still under repair.

Repairing a few blown parts, turning things back on after they have been turned off, or restoring the main lines is a relatively fast process. Replacing an entire system is not. Imagine replacing every transformer on the entire grid of an entire nation! I will guarantee that the replacement units would have to be imported from around the world.
