[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4859798, member: 58386"] Colonial Pipeline is owned by 6 separate entities 2 are off shore and none have controlling interest. Washington has been after it and other essential privately owned infrastructure owner/operators to spend money on cyber security but lacked the power to mandate it. The result: You can't find gasoline due to a cyber attack..... Remember, this is what you wanted . For years Washington wanted ERCOT's suppliers to winterize in preparation for a severe winter weather outbreak and for ERCOT to join up with the national electric grid in order to access power during an emergency. Both refused to go along with the request. The result: No heat, no water, no lights..... Remember, this is what you wanted. Events such as these are not unexpected and many more are likely to occur. You can only do so much to warn those who are responsible to take the measures needed to avoid them but if they won't listen or more often than not don't want to have to spend the money.... Well, this is what you wanted. [/QUOTE]
