    Ok, so my parents were watching 60 minutes and I was watching with them and they did a story on the power grid and how they think it could wipe out entire cities, states, or our nation if someone was to hack into the central control system and mess with everything. What do you guys think? Do you think it would actually have any real effect to be without power for up to 2 months persay?

    I think it would cause mass chaos because of a few reasons:
    A) everything electrical, computer, refridgerator, washing machine, dryer, and so on would be shut down.
    B) All food would be warm, and you wouldnt be able to brew coffee, make any type of soup on the stove.
    C) We wouldnt be able to pump gasoline into our cars.
    D) Robberies would rise dramatically.
    E) Murders would probably run with those robberies.

    but thats just my opinion.


    here is a link to the video incase you want to watch (its 18 mins long)

    ...Sadly I am part of that group. I would probably just go crazy but as for the rest of the nation, well... the last two points mentioned would definitely be a major consequence. Other than that I think people might start to relocate to Canada, Mexico, and anywhere else where there was power. That would cause a drop in the population which would affect lots of other things.

    There probably be Mass Suicide and everyone in comas will die, and Im sorry to say but the economy might collaspse,there would be no such thing as law and by the time power is back on its feet eerything will be hopelessly ruined.
