The Green Grid’s Hidden Backdoors: A Geopolitical Infrastructure Reckoning
The clean energy revolution is fundamentally changing the global power dynamic, but it has introduced a silent, critical vulnerability: the software running our new, decentralized infrastructure often answers to someone else.
In my latest column for Forbes, I take a deep dive into what I call the “Infrastructure Reckoning.” As Western nations accelerate the shift toward a digitalized, green grid to meet climate goals and power the AI boom, we are simultaneously expanding the cyber-attack surface for adversarial nations. The frontline of energy security is no longer just about physical supply chains or oil pipelines—it is being fought in the code that manages our electricity.
The piece has struck a chord globally, and I am incredibly grateful to see it syndicated internationally today by Yahoo News, Yahoo UK, Yahoo Canada and Yahoo News Australia, bringing this urgent conversation on grid reliability and cybersecurity to a broader global audience.
