Faced with the threat of Chinese Communist Party hackers infiltrating and wrecking its grid, Texan legislators have just scotched a giant wind farm project.
CCP backed hackers messing around with an individual wind turbine is one thing, but bringing down an entire power grid is quite another. And that’s the very risk that ought to concern Americans, particularly with wind power obsessed Joe Biden and the Squad ensconced in the White House.
With thousands of wind turbines spread far and wide, their control systems offer the perfect backdoor to hackers determined to disrupt and destroy power grids, and much more.
The vulnerability of on-board networked control systems for wind turbines – known as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) – is glaringly obvious to those with an interest in exploiting that vulnerability. Not least, the operatives of the Chinese Communist Party, who are always looking for an opportunity to gain the upper hand against the USA.
Well, it appears that Texan legislators are alive to the threat of CCP shenanigans.
