LOOK WHO'S TALKING

“The grid is something you probably don’t think much about until it goes out,
which unfortunately is happening more and more in recent years.”
– John Oliver

“We have the tools to solve the problem.”

– Joe Rogan

“Lawmakers are not doing anything right now to address anything that led to the
black outs… which will lead to dystopian situations.”

– Krystal and Saagar (Breaking Points)

ABOUT THE MOVIE


GRID DOWN, POWER UP



THE MOVIE

Grid failure is a real and imminent threat, a devastatingly deadly occurrence
leading to life-threatening shortages of heat, food, and water. If protective
measures are not taken, we will experience catastrophic failures leaving
citizens in states of starvation, death, destruction, and darkness for months.
Reports released from Texas’ 3-day “snowmageddon” indicate a minimum death toll
of 246, with some estimates climbing as high as 702. An outage of 1-2 years
would lead to 10,000,000+ deaths. One thing is evident: the clock is ticking,
and if nothing changes, the power may go out for good… WATCH THE MOVIE



THE US POWER GRID

Dennis Quaid hosts an alarming look into the potential of life without power. A
dynamic legion of energy, economic, national security, and infrastructure
experts fearlessly expose our most critical global threat: the vulnerability of
our nation’s power grids. Together they inform the public of imminent threats
and the infinite horrors in store from prolonged power loss. Buckle down and
power up with this series of shocking scenarios. To learn more about The Grid

THE UTILITY COMPANIES

The U.S. power grid is aging and already struggling to meet current demand. It
faces a future with more people — people who drive more electric cars and heat
homes with more electric furnaces. Our electric utility companies have not
implemented sufficient precautions to protect our grid and are well aware of the
dangers. Numerous readily available grid safety solutions exist. These viable
innovations must be rapidly instituted to protect our grid against known threats
and hazards. As the demand for grid protection expands, brilliant minds will
undoubtedly develop even more innovative ideas to secure our grid and protect
our power. Promising fortification concepts have been developed by wise
executives and utility engineers who understand that strict guidelines and
protection measures may (hopefully) become required by law. Consistent citizen
pressure must continue to pass legislation requiring utility companies to
implement existing protective protocols while encouraging them to forge further
state-of-the-art safeguards. Our goal at ‘GDPU’ is to ensure the grid never goes
down! We’ve taken the time to list examples of immediate/interim solutions and
sensible steps to secure our existing grids while we push for developing
reliable, resilient microgrids… Help Resolve This



THE STATE AND FEDERAL OFFICIALS 

Our state and federal officials understand the dangers of grid failure but
haven’t successfully passed legislation to remedy the problem. Unfortunately,
the current cybersecurity standards designed by “the industry” and “approved” by
the federal government are dangerously insufficient. Their security standards
lean towards negligence and apply only to the “bulk power system.” The current
cybersecurity standards clearly state: companies are NOT required to seek
detection, mitigation, or even removal of malware (like the virus Russia
employed to terminate electricity in Ukraine and then implanted in our systems).
Even more shocking: these standards do not protect against catastrophic
cyber-physical threats such as “Aurora” and don’t apply to imperative systems
that allow grid operators to control the flow of electricity. Federal regulators
have long been warned about these severe deficiencies. We must continue to push
and encourage the federal government, state legislators, and public service
commissioners to mandate upgraded cybersecurity standards to protect our power
grid…Help Resolve This

THE MEDIA 

Recent attacks on substations in Washington and Carolina have put everyone on
high alert as we have seen firsthand how easily and quickly things can go awry.
The grid has become a popular news topic as many states, like California, have
continued to report rolling blackouts during heat waves. In recent months,
government officials and reporters alike have urged citizens to refrain from
excessive usage, even suggesting people forgo charging electric vehicles to
reduce stress on the grid. See the most recent news about grid attacks and the
grid in the media check here.



THE STORY BEHIND ‘GRID DOWN, POWER UP’ THE DOCUMENTARY:

Three years ago, Texas resident David Tice discovered a documentary in progress
illuminating the grave risks and associated outcomes of a complete power grid
collapse. After the initial shock, he took action to carry the production to
completion. Grid failure is a real and imminent threat to our modern way of
life, a devastating and deadly occurrence that recently “hit home” as outages
ravaged Texans in February 2021.

Disaster struck our grid as three severe winter storms swept the United States,
triggering the worst energy infrastructure failure in Texas state history. This
incident ultimately led to critical, life-threatening shortages of heat, food,
and water along with rolling blackouts affecting more than 4.5 million
businesses and residences over several days.

A final report released from the Texas Department of State Health Services
concluded that a minimum of 246 fatalities occurred with some estimates climbing
as high as 702. The documented causes of death included: house fires, automobile
collisions, drowning, hypothermia, and carbon monoxide poisoning as citizens
desperately fought to survive the loss of power. According to officials at
ERCOT, Texas’ power grid was “seconds and minutes” away from a catastrophic
failure with the potential to leave residents in darkness for months.

After much consideration, David took matters into his own hands. When asked why,
he stated: “The human brain does three things. It remembers the past, builds
connections, and creates ideas for the future.” The shocking realization that
humans have become so reliant on power to survive sparked the initiative to
release this electrifying documentary while connecting with fellow energy
warriors like Senator Hall. “We are here to kindle a movement and fix this
problem.”

In the midst of research and investigation, one thing became abundantly clear.
Natural disasters and weather phenomena are only one facet in the frightening
scope of future failures. An orchestrated physical attack, electromagnetic pulse
(EMP), cyber-attack, or geomagnetic disturbance (GMD) could shut down our
electric grid for a year; or longer. This is a Global, humanitarian issue, not a
political one; if something is not done, we will inevitably find ourselves in
the dawn of a new Dark Age. Watch “Grid Down Power Up” for more information to
understand how you can help solve this problem and protect our power. WATCH THE
