FEMA’s Response To My Letter: A Blow Off

Posted on June 9, 2019June 11, 2019 by Michael Mabee

FEMA’s response seems to be a low-level bureaucratic “ignore” I’m disappointed by FEMA’s response to my March 28, 2019 letter which I posted here. As you may recall, I wrote to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) after not hearing from them on a letter I had sent them on March 7, 2018 – a…

Posted on June 4, 2019November 21, 2019 by Michael Mabee

Regulatory Mutiny: The Grid Just Threatened FERC

Posted on May 10, 2019July 19, 2019 by Michael Mabee

The electric grid just threatened the federal government with a regulatory mutiny if the names of their regulatory violators are revealed to the public. Perhaps a bit of background is in order. There is a little known battle playing out in an obscure docket before an even more obscure federal agency, the Federal Energy Regulatory…

EPRI EMP Study: Frank Gaffney and Michael Mabee Break It Down

Posted on May 3, 2019May 3, 2019 by Michael Mabee

Listen to the experts break this scam down EPRI is misleading the press and the nation on the danger to the U.S. Electric Grid EPRI published their much anticipated EMP Report on April 30, 2019. We…

Posted on April 29, 2019March 6, 2020 by Michael Mabee

Physical Security: The Electric Grid’s Dirty Little Secret

Posted on April 25, 2019October 11, 2019 by Michael Mabee

  Physical security requirements for the electric grid—and their enforcement—are largely non-existent 6 years after the Metcalf attack At approximately 1:00 a.m. on April 16, 2013, a major PG&E transformer substation in Metcalf California was attacked. The attack was well-planned and sophisticated. One year later, the Metcalf station was struck again when the fence was…

FERC Must Make A Choice

Posted on April 19, 2019June 11, 2019 by Michael Mabee

  For almost 9 years, FERC has aided and abetted a massive coverup. Now they can choose to do the right thing—or not. In July of 2010 Cheryl LaFleur became a Commissioner with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). That same month, The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) began covering up the names of…

Is The Electric Industry Flipping POTUS The Bird?

Posted on April 3, 2019June 11, 2019 by Michael Mabee

On March 26 2019, President Trump issued Executive Order 13865. The electric industry instantly praised the order. Or did they? After two decades of inaction and what Senator Ron Johnson calls “admiring the problem” by administrations both red and blue, finally, the President has taken action. Executive Order 13865 begins to put some of the…
