Major black outs usually occur in third world countries but under liberal leadership they are occurring right here in the United States in San Francisco. On Saturday a black out impacted 130,000 Pacific Gas & Electric Company customers in San Francisco. The black out was reportedly caused by a fire at an electric substation, but ahs raised question regarding China infiltrating the United State’s electrical grid.

Traffic lights out. Public transit paralyzed. Self-driving cars frozen in place. That was San Francisco this week, a city on pause, a grid offline, and a system stretched to its limits. What caused the outage? Officials haven’t confirmed. But the moment it happened, one question came roaring back: how vulnerable is America’s infrastructure, and who might already be inside it? According to U.S. intelligence, the answer isn’t hypothetical. China has been deeply embedded in American critical infrastructure networks for years, water, power, ports, telecoms, even small-town utilities. Not for spying. Not for profit. But for one reason: to gain leverage in a future crisis. That’s not speculation. It’s been confirmed by former top cyber officials and documented in a years-long investigation. China has accessed electrical grids, stolen credentials, and laid dormant, watching, waiting. No malware. No detonation. Just silent positioning. And when a blackout hits a major U.S. city, even for reasons unrelated to foreign actors, it tests more than the grid. It tests public trust. It exposes how fragile normal life is when systems go dark. From the port of Houston to New York City’s transit authority, over 200 systems have shown signs of compromise. In one case, hackers accessed the water supply of a town with no military value. Why? Because every node counts when the goal is chaos. This isn’t science fiction. It’s part of a strategy China openly calls “unrestricted warfare”, targeting basic services to distract and divide, especially if a Taiwan conflict or Indo-Pacific standoff erupts. And the U.S. response? Slower than it should be. Outdated software is still being patched while Beijing advances with military-grade cyber operations, probing how far they can reach before anyone takes notice. If systems can be turned off with a keystroke, so can economic activity, public safety, even military readiness. It’s not just about keeping the lights on. It’s about keeping adversaries out before the next blackout isn’t an accident. Autonomous taxi driving vehicles Waymos were also impacted by the black out. Take a look: Waymo’s self-driving cars were put on pause by the company on Saturday in San Francisco after the autonomous vehicles were baffled by the lack of traffic signals due to a widespread power outage in the city. https://t.co/t6NgkBCTe7 pic.twitter.com/cXoK0yuvTw — ABC News (@ABC) December 21, 2025 USA Today reported there are still reported outages two days after the black out started: Crews are still working to restore power to thousands of San Francisco residents nearly two days after a fire caused a widespread blackout across the city. About 10,000 residents remain without power as of 4 a.m. local time, or 7 a.m. EST, on Dec. 22, according to Pacific Gas & Electric’s outage tracker. Similarly, USA TODAY’s outage tracker has about 11,000 customers without power as of 7 a.m. EST. PG&E said it expects all service to be restored by 2 p.m. local time on Dec. 22. The majority of remaining outages are in the Richmond and Golden Gate Park areas. At its peak, the outage affected about 130,000 PG&E customers after a fire at a PG&E electric facility on Dec. 20, officials said. Fire at PG&E facility believed to have caused outage The San Francisco Fire Department said it responded to a fire at a PG&E electric facility, known as a substation, at 8th St. and Mission St. on Dec. 20. PG&E said the outage was first reported around 10 a.m. local time on Dec. 20, and it became “significant” by 1 p.m. local time. “The damage from the fire in our substation was significant and extensive and the repairs and safe restoration will be complex,” the company said, adding that no one was injured in the fire.
