I don't know what the solution is but I do know that both private companies, utilities, and State and Federal Government had better be spending some time, energy, and bucks on hardening the internet communications that control our infrastructure. We have to hope for the best but plan for the worst.

Oh, and don't forget we have a peak of sunspots coming in 2012 that could cripple satellite and other communications!!!!

I'm planning to be on an end-of-the-world cruise in December 2012. Anybody want to join us? Talk about a par-tay!
