Yes it takes a ton (actually TONS) of copper and steel to build a single substation transformer. If there’s a wide scale attack that fries their internal components, it definitely will take years to rebuild the grid.
Being black hats and enemies within would be the ones to do it, they’ll probably have a good idea of the grid layout. I don’t think we’ll see worst case scenario if it does happen, but certain areas would see extended outages. Our family is prepped for at least 60 days, that’s what I believe the average outage time would be whether natural or made made black out
Is it that hard to come up with a back up if something like that was to happen?

Good to know. I have about 60 days of dried food. So thanks for the info!
No worries china builds the transformers now.
