Renewables Risk Watch: CCP Using Wind Farm Control Systems to Hack US Power Grid & More
April 23, 2021
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.
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.
Bonner R. Cohen, Ph.D – a senior fellow at the National Center for Public Policy Research and a senior policy analyst with the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow – details the growing national security threat posed by America’s wind industry.
