Blackout Scenario

"Is the apocalypse just around the corner?"

Cyberattacks on power plants could trigger a massive blackout, potentially setting off a chain reaction: the collapse of governmental order and the end of civilization as we know it. Conspiracy theorists claim that this is precisely what the secret elites are planning. The threat of a total blackout is often used by the political right to rally opposition against renewable energy. Others see it as a lucrative business built on fear: so-called ‘preppers’, preparing for the worst, are building bunkers and stockpiling supplies, solar panels, water filters, and other survival gadgets.

Experts, however, consider such doomsday scenarios to be highly unlikely. What about you?
