Me, I think it's only a matter of time before somebody pulls the plug. It's like earthquakes in California or Tom Cruise on a talk show -- you know all hell will break loose eventually.

At that point, the folks who'll be running the show are those who invested their life savings in kerosene-powered generators and beef jerky. Think Road Warrior, only instead of gasoline the currency will be alternating current.

There's a pleasant thought for a Good Friday. I'm going to go hide Easter Eggs now -- and maybe start working on that underground bunker I've been planning to build.

Do power grid vulnerabilities worry you? Share your paranoia with me: .
