Erika Kirk found in a decade old documentary about EMP attacks and grid vulnerability BLACK START (I wonder if this has any relation to 'Black Eye)

Q - Should we be prepping for some kind of shutdown?
No. Reports of 'power grid' attacks (6 mo prep) should be disregarded. While attacks do occur, we are safeguarded by a 'Black Eye'. Q

Terrorists, Cyber and Hacking, and EMP's could take down our entire infrastructure from banking, water, communications, food delivery, to fuel for our military? It could happen! Black Start is the protocol for bringing the Electric Grid back on line after a total nationwide grid failure. This has never been done! We don't know if it can be done. This is a matter of National Security, a present vulnerability of the nations Electric grid. Citizens will be left in the dark for months or years! Nuclear power plants will go Fukashima without power. A nuclear melt down within a black out, a disaster within a disaster will happen.

Erika Kirk's mother, Lori Frantzve, founded the company E3Tek Group.
E3TEK Group has been a leader in providing EMP solutions.
E3TEK has unique engineering expertise in the area of EMP mitigation. We are expanding into developing our own EMP testing facility.This facility will be able to test control systems, enclosures, engines, vehicles, aircraft, and various grid components.
I worked in the power industry for many years. "Black start " has to do with starting up a power plant from a "black" or lights out, shutdown condition. It is not like you can start up one of these big plants by flipping a switch. There is a lot of complicated steps that go into getting a plant up, let alone the whole grid. It actually takes a plant to start other plants so if everything on the grid is completely down we do not know, for sure, if it could be brought back up. Never been done. So ya, scary shit to think about.
Thanks for that information. fren
The pumped water storage power plants in our state are designed to also dark-start the nuclear plants in our state.
(Those plants pump water up the mountain at night when power is cheap, then use water & gravity to produce power in the afternoon when power is expensive. They are simple to start, so they can be used to produce enough power for a field coil in a coal or nuke plant, allowing those plants to produce power.)
You in calirado? I toured one of these plants a few months ago. Pretty cool. And they bragged about the dark start capability.
North Georgia where years ago I received a great and thorough private tour of a pumped/stored water power generation plant. I was there to work on phones. The engineer explained how their smaller plant can be used to restart the huge nuke plant and other power plants across GA in the event of down grid.
Fascinating and highly reassuring for future calamities.
These things were discussed back in 1998 and 1999 before Y2K on a computer discussion group on Usenet. An EMP would fry huge transformers all over the country, and we don't make them here any more. One of them would take months to have manufactured elsewhere. Also, the infrastructure for delivery is gone. Some of these transformers are so large, they have to be delivered by train, and the tracks have actually been removed in many places. Luckily, the existing railroad is almost within sight of the nearest transformers to my house.
To cold start a power plant, we might have to gather countless small generators to be able to generate enough power.
BTW, the energy sector did next to nothing in preparation for Y2K. Luckily, embedded processors didn't cause the possible problems. Other software would have failed completely. I rewrote a software for the place I worked that kept them from shutting down. They were required to have the software in place and working to keep their liability insurance active. I fixed their problem, but didn't even get a raise that year. That's why I "retired" several years later. That and severe micromanagement by ignorant people.
My father was also involved in prepping for Y2K.
Doubtless a job performed by 99.99% men
