Granholm: "Adversaries Have Capability Of Shutting Down US Power Grid" [1]

"Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm (D)  said on Sunday that adversaries of the U.S. have the capability of shutting down the country’s power grid.

"Yes, they do," she said on CNN's "State of the Union" when asked if U.S. adversaries had such a capability.

“I think that there are very malign actors who are trying. Even as we speak, there are thousands of attacks on all aspects of the energy sector and the private sector, generally,” Granholm added. “It's happening all the time. And this is why the private sector and the public sector have to work together.”

Granholm also told host Jake Tapper that President Biden is working with other countries to fight cyberattacks."
