Imagine a power outage - except, instead of it being isolated to your local area and lasting only a few hours, it spans most of the country and persists several months (or more). According to respected journalist Ted Koppel, such could be the fate of our country in the event of a coordinated cyber-attack on the power grid. In this episode, Tim reviews Koppel's investigative book, "Lights Out," in which he outlines the harsh realities of cyber warfare and the vulnerabilities of North America's power grid, the country’s unpreparedness to handle a direct attack on the grid, and those most likely to cope with such a catastrophe should it ever occur.
