Re: Do NOT rely on Mill's assessment and predictions, re: the grid. His is a 'stand-alone' prediction.
As opposed to your "stand-alone" predictions, based upon the "stand-alone" predictions of others??
Perhaps, somewhat accurate in itself, but because of the interconnectivity/interdependency factors, and the domino effect, it should be considered a ultra- best-case senario.
So you know more than someone who has worked in the Utilities industry?? I haven't heard Rick Cowles making the same dire predictions you are making.
What happens to the grid when telecom goes down?
It seems to me the greatest threat to both is if either one fail.
Here's a good source for the latest test results performed by the gov't (including those my close associate is reporting to me):

What happens to the grid when banking is disrupted, and the workers, including emergency repair, can't be paid?
How were people paid during the bank runs and financial crises that have occurred in the past?? Do you really believe that a emergency repairmen are so selfish they will refuse to work? Do you really believe they won't be more motivated than everyone else to fix what they can so their lives can return to normal?
What happens to the grid when civil unrest occurs in each locale adjacent to the plants?
Security perimeters with armed guards and military patrols to maintain order. Why would someone loot a power plant instead of the downtown retail stores?
What happens to the grid when water delivery systems are disrupted, and x number of utility-related personnel have not stored sufficient/any water reserves?
They will receive what they need from the emergency response teams. They is no shortage of water in the US (even in Arizona). It's just not potable unless purified. This is a problem that exists primarily in heavily populated cities than in the countryside.
What happens to the grid when the food chain is disrupted, and same senario as with water supplies, above?
Since when do power plants need to eat or drink?
