Hello John, Gino and Doves,Last week I sent in this Doves letter - pretty sobering.Gino - maybe we are way past tariffs or trade deals...China is readying for war with US. I don't think they care one bit about working anything out. War is their only 'possibility'. And they are preparing to take us on.
And now we learn that there is a backdoor in our solar, wind and battery hardware that can ultimately destroy our grid. Undocumented communication modules (like cellular radios) have been found hidden inside solar inverters. These were manufactured in China.Add what that U.S. General said to the below information:Power inverters are mainly produced in China and are "used throughout the world to connect solar panels, and wind turbines (and batteries) to electricity grids. They are also found in batteries, heat pumps and electric vehicle chargers." Inverters are built to "allow remote access for updates and maintenance" - however utility companies "typically install firewalls to prevent direct communication back to China."And now.... "rogue communication devices not listed in product documents have been found in some Chinese solar power inverters by U.S. experts who strip down equipment hooked up to grids to check for security issues...Over the past nine months, undocumented communication devices, including cellular radios, have also been found in some batteries from multiple Chinese suppliers...""The rogue components provide additional, undocumented communication channels that could allow firewalls to be circumvented remotely, with potentially catastrophic consequences...""We know that China believes there is value in placing at least some elements of our core infrastructure at risk of destruction or disruption," said Mike Rogers, as former director of the U.S. National Security Agency. " think that the Chinese are, in part, hoping that the widespread use of inverters limits the options that the West has to deal with the security issue.""Using the rogue communication devices to skirt firewalls and switch off inverters remotely, or change their settings, could destabilize power grids, damage energy infrastructure and trigger widespread blackouts, experts said.""That effectively means there is a built-in way to physically destroy the grid...The existence of the rogue devices has not previously been reported. The U.S. government has not publicly acknowledged the discoveries.""The threat we face from the Chinese Communist Party is real and growing. Whether it's telecom hacks or remotely accessing solar and battery inverters, the CCP stops at nothing to target our sensitive infrastructure and components," said U.S. Representative August Pfluger, a Republican member of the Committed on Homeland Security."There is a bill now in a Senate Committee that would ban DHS from purchasing batteries from some Chinese manufacturers starting October 20227. That bill has not progressed.Various power companies in the U.S. "are attempting to minimize the use of Chinese inverters by sourcing equipment from elsewhere. Huawei is the "world's largest supplier of inverters". In 2019, it's 5G telecom equipment was banned in the U.S. due to security concerns."The European Solar Manufacturing Council estimates over 200 GW of European solar power capacity is linked to inverters made in China - equivalent to more than 200 nuclear power plants.""If you remotely control a large number of home solar inverters, and do something nefarious at once, that could have catastrophic implications to the grid for a prolonged period of time," said Uri Sadot, cyber security program director at Israeli inverter manufacturer SolarEdge.""NATO...said China's efforts to control member states' critical infrastructure - including inverters - were intensifying."
Fox News carried the story too:
Secret communication equipment found in Chinese solar power inverters | Fox NewsChina/CCP has invested a lot of time and money into infecting all of our critical infrastructure...and now we find they have placed 'secret' components into inverters and potentially other items like batteries, EV chargers, heat pumps...And that these can circumvent a firewall. And the government hasn't officially told us this bad news.The coming war with China will be fought right here on our soil. And they will take down all of our utilities prior to a physical invasion. Maybe waiting for the die-off to begin.Pray for the peace of Jerusalem~Maranatha!Chance
