We Need A 'Kill Switch' On Foreign Powers Tampering With Our Electric Grid

The U.S. energy infrastructure is vulnerable due to a lack of central planning and reliance on foreign technology. China has reportedly installed hidden "kill switches" in solar equipment sold to the U.S., posing a significant threat to the power grid. These devices could be used to remotely disable inverters, destabilize the grid, and trigger widespread blackouts. This issue extends beyond the U.S., with Europe also relying heavily on Chinese-made inverters. The sparse media coverage suggests a downplaying of the threat to protect the climate change narrative. Trump advocated for energy independence and infrastructure upgrades to address these vulnerabilities. Experts emphasize the urgent need to domestically develop technology and manufacture parts currently imported. The recent grid failure in Europe further highlights the unreliability of renewable energy sources. The Affordable, Reliable and Clean Energy Security act (ARC-ES) is proposed to prioritize domestic energy sources and reduce reliance on foreign materials. The discovery of Chinese "kill switches" underscores the critical need for stricter regulations and energy independence.
