Oh, for the good old days when all you worried about was perhaps getting a pay raise or the size of your medical insurance co-pay.

I’d feel terrible if this came to pass, and I hadn’t warned you, so you should know, the lights may go out at any moment.

Remember the last time you lost electric power? Darn frustrating, wasn’t it? You couldn’t charge your cellphone. No email. No Facebook. No television. If you opened the refrigerator too long, you risked the milk going bad. Remember the uncertainty? When will the power go back on?

Yours truly spent three days without power last year when a winter storm knocked out electricity in a wide geographic swath. Coupled with freezing rain, it got pretty cold. And dark. For three days.

It could be worse. Terrorists pose an “imminent” threat to the U.S. electrical grid, which could leave the good ol’ USA looking like 19th century USA for a lot longer than three days.

Don’t take my word for it. Ask Peter Pry, former CIA officer and one-time House Armed Services Committee staffer, who served on a congressional commission investigating such eventualities.

“There is an imminent threat from ISIS to the national electric grid and not just to a single U.S. city,” Pry warns. He points to a leaked U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission report in March that said a coordinated terrorist attack on just nine of the nation’s 55,000 electrical power substations could cause coast-to-coast blackouts for up to 18 months.
