Topic: Demand Destruction

A long-term caller named Simon provides a technical analysis of the U.S. power grid, identifying 18 key transformer points that, if destroyed, could plunge the country into darkness for years. He explains the concept of "demand destruction" currently being tested in the EU through high electricity prices. The host adds that Congress refused to spend $4 billion on backup transformers, leaving the infrastructure vulnerable to both physical attacks and solar flares, while billions are sent to Ukraine.
