A significant cyberattack on America’s power grid is not only possible but likely, according to veteran journalist Ted Koppel. In his new book, “Lights Out,” the longtime “Nightline” anchor argues that the power grid is extremely vulnerable to an attack that could cause a months-long blackout, crippling key electrical, communication and transportation infrastructure. Despite the inevitability of such an attack, he says, the federal government has no recovery plan in place. Koppel examines the ways individuals and the government can prepare for the potential catastrophe.
