100% chance of cyber attack

New York congresswoman Yvette Clark (D-NY)
says the possibility of a cyber attack occurring against the nations power grid is 100%.
Notably Mrs. Clark is also the chair of the
U.S. House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Emerging Threats, Cybersecurity, Science, & Technology.

She affirms that it's not a matter of when, as "we are already under attack".
Explaining an attack would cause untold amounts of harm,
pointing out the Northeast Blackouts of 2003 would only be the tip of the iceberg.

Her solution is a partnership between government & industry.
That's where we discover the intent of her claims.
Let's get something straight, despite what they say, power plants are not connected to the internet.
They run on individual private networks.
Only reason the Bushehr Nuclear Power Station in Iran was infected with the Stuxnet virus
was become someone under the leadership of Israel or possibly America planted it on the premises.
This is sounding like more fear mongering excuse the implementation of:
S.773 - the CyberSecurity Act
which will then lead to:
S.3804 - the Combating Online Infringement & Counterfeits Act
If either law were to pass it would be detrimental to the internet as we know it,
and would be a serious affliction on free speech.

On a weird note:

The Northeast Blackout of 1965 left 30 million people without electricity for up to 12 hours.
The surge began at 5:16pm, weirdly there were many reports of UFO's that evening.
Specifically at 4:30pm, & 5:22pm in the area of the blackouts.
Over the Clay Power Station a fireball was witnessed by a pilot and flight instructor.
One of the pictures of the UFO's were even printed in Time magazine.
Strangely, for awhile many believed the baby boom sprang from this single event,
but this was later proven false.
