Or some type of mechanism which would shut them down at a push of a button. We should NOT be buying things like that from China. Quoting: GA Girl I think that China is the only source. I think we dropped the ball a couple of decades ago, when we allowed China to make our power grid equipment. brought about by dadadada! billy klintoon |

We would be taken over by China in less than a decade. And the SC wouldn't save us after they get their judges on it. Slowly but surely our freedoms would be chipped away or denied. Just like they do in China and what Hong Kong is experiencing now. |

As soon as he was elected he sent George Bush to China to scope things out and lay ground work. George Bush's brother Prescott set up the first American Chamber of Commerce in China in Shanghai, and also built the first golf course in China (maybe the only one), and greased skids for decades to get American expertise and investment into China. When George W Bush was president he signed a huge deal with Hu Jintao setting up China to provide not just electrical grid management equipment but also wind and solar generation equipment. Clinton and Obama moved to implement the deals that the Bush family set in place. Clinton allowed China into US infrastructure and Obama was cooking up plots to set up huge wind and solar and coal gasification systems in cahoots with the Chinese who would do the hardware while the US provided the raw energy resources. Fortunately the huge EPA regulatory structure that Clinton set in place to stymie US development also stymied the Obama/China energy empire, shutting it down before it got off the ground, and saving the sage grouse or some other innocent bird bystander in the process. We were sold out long before we even realized that China would be a competitor and assassin. Now it will be like getting weevils out of peas to get them out of our energy infrastructure. *** Good deeds bring rewards, bad actions bring troubles. That is a law of the universe. *** |

[link to www.tomshardware.com (secure)] My understanding is that China is essentially the only supplier in the world now for these large transformers. That is insane. The US should make it a law that all grid critical infrastructure should be sourced from domestic sources. I wonder just how compromised our grid has become. Oh, that's coming. Very soon. You are going to see mass expansion in the US in regards to reclaiming outsourced things that never should have been sent overseas. Like drug and chemical manufacture. Post Monster General |

They have declared war on the world by any means. In my opinion, China is closed for business, anyone doing business with them is a traitor to humanity.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 64785268 United States 05/28/2020 06:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | US Federal Government authorities seized a 226-tonne electricity transformer made by Chinese company Jiangsu Huapeng Transformer Company at Houston port last summer and took it to Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for unspecified reasons, The Wall Street Journal reports. Quoting: LoneStarRising The lab, which is operated by Honeywell International, handles contract work for the US Energy Department associated with threats to national security, the report added. A US representative of the company, Jim Cai, told the newspaper that it had sold more than 7000 such transformers in the past two decades to numerous international customers. Cai was unaware of what had happened to the transformer until he was asked for comment by the WSJ. US President Donald Trump on 1 May signed an executive order for the DoE to find and ban devices from the power grid made by foreign countries that were considered a threat to national security. A report in Politico said Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette had recently played down concerns from industry that new clean energy projects could be inconvenienced by the order.
