Taylor Quoted in The Guardian
The Guardian quoted Keith Taylor about the vulnerability of the electric grid to attacks. “In a centralized system, if I [want] to take out one coal-fired plant, I don’t even have to take out the plant, I just have to take out the transmission line,” said Taylor. “You can cause a ripple effect where one outage can cause an entire seaboard to go down.”
