EMP Commission Chairman’s Report: A Message to the President
Dr. William R. Graham, author of the EMP Commission Chairman’s Report has a message to the President. Dr. Graham urges that “the single most important action that must be taken urgently to advance national strength and survivability is:
Establish an Executive Agent—a Cabinet Secretary designated by the President—with the authority, accountability, and resources, to manage U.S. national infrastructure protection and defense against EMP and the other existential threats described above. Current institutional authorities and responsibilities—government, industry, regulatory agencies—are fragmented, incomplete, and unable to protect and defend against foreign hostile EMP threats and solar super-storms.” (Page 8.)
The Secure the Grid Coalition agrees. Presently, the grid is self regulated. The mind-numbingly complex self-regulatory scheme between the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has proven ineffective at addressing the threats to the electric grid. The United States needs the executive branch to take charge of protecting the electric grid.
Every day that goes by is another day that millions of Americans’ lives are at risk.
