AGING POWER GRIDS POSE SECURITY RISK JPMorgan warns outdated electricity grids are now a “national security risk,” vulnerable to extreme weather, cyberattacks, and rising energy shocks. Surging demand from AI, electrification, and industry—combined with geopolitical instability—is straining already fragile systems, creating bottlenecks and supply risks. The bank sees a “massive” investment opportunity in grid upgrades, with global spending expected to reach $5.8 trillion by 2035, including about $1 trillion in the U.S. Grids are shifting from neglected infrastructure to strategic assets, as resilience and energy independence become top priorities.(*Walter Bloomberg)
