Message: <blockquote data-quote="_CY_" data-source="post: 3526632" data-attributes="member: 7629">interesting ...  any truth to description of Chinese transformers below?found something buried in the Keystone Piepline EO..... way towards the end of the doc.It turns out that the same day Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline, he also lifted the security on our power grid for 90 days (Trump’s EO the year prior secured our power grid by giving China no access.)Here below is the snippet buried in Biden’s Keystone pipeline EO.“c) Executive Order 13920 of May 1, 2020 (Securing the United States Bulk-Power System), is hereby suspended for 90 days. The Secretary of Energy and the Director of OMB shall jointly consider whether to recommend that a replacement order be issued.”Just a small little paragraph tucked away in one of Biden’s EO’s the first day he was in office under the umbrella of “restoring science to tackle the climate crisis”.You can find it here:<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/" target="_blank">https://www.whitehouse.gov/</a>...So I researched our energy transformers that supply our power grid. Turns out, we have had zero transformers in this country that were manufactured in China prior to 2009. From 2009 -2019, China has manufactured 200 of our transformers, supplying 60% of our power grid.Trump’s EO states this snippet, interestingly enough.May 1, 2020 order, President Trump stated that“the United States should no longer purchase transformers and other electric grid equipment manufactured in China. He signaled that it is important to end relationships that U.S. utilities have directly with Chinese businesses and multi-national companies manufacturing transformers in China, which are later plugged into the electric grid in the United States.Chinese power equipment can be embedded with software and hardware that can be remotely accessed, enhancing China’s ability to commit cyberattacks. Because power transformers are huge and weigh between 100 and 400 tons, it is not easy to identify embedded software or hardware. There is also a potential hardware risk since counterfeit items can be easily put into large power transformers.”You can read Trump’s EO here:<a href="https://www.federalregister/" target="_blank">https://www.federalregister</a>... cont..Executive Order on Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis | The White House By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1.
