In this electrifying episode of NIDS Knowledge, Dr. James Petrosky, President of the National Institute for Deterrence Studies, dives deep into the concept of energy resiliency and its critical role in national security and deterrence. From rubber ducks in hurricanes to solar storms and cyber threats, Dr. Petrosky breaks down the difference between survivability and resiliency, explores the vulnerabilities of the U.S. power grid, and proposes a modernized, distributed, and redundant energy infrastructure. Learn how upgrading our grid could deter adversaries and keep the lights on—no matter what. Tune in and power up your understanding of deterrence, one electron at a time.
