You don't have to attack the plant; it's useless without transformers, substations & high-voltage power lines, all of which can NOT be protected except at RIDICULOUSLY high cost.
If your grid is designed well, I suppose you can withstand quite a bit of issues but I've been hearing for the better part of 3 decades that the US grid is not particularly resilient and that outage of Feb 26, 2008 affected close to 4 MILLION Floridians.
Let's hope they've learned a lesson from that; I and most of my friends & relatives were affected by the Aug 2003 outage and my gf at the time got stuck in a traffic jam 30 miles long and it took her 10 hours to get home. We were living on the 22nd floor back then and the younger, fitter body I wore didn't have too much trouble helping others cart their emerg supplies up the stairs - but I wouldn't be able to do that again, or perhaps a LOT more slowly.
You could make the same claims about electric cars & vactrains yet we now have a Musk company that's built & sold 100k battery-only electric cars and has inspired several Hyperloop-based projects that are getting close to very small-scale 1st testing.
He's not (yet) Ford, Edison, Westinghouse nor Tesla nor is he Tony Stark but he's doing a damn fine job of trying.
Trump has achieved what I think may be a 1st, getting a declaration of support from both the KKK (David Duke) and the Nation of Islam (Louis Farrakhan).
"Trump can't pull sane republicans; and he can't pull democrats either"
There aren't enough "sane republicans" left to populate Rhode Island and even if they were numerous, they'll vote for the nominee. There's an old saying that accurately describes the parties - "Democrats fall in love; Republicans fall in line"
In the vast majority of offshoring, it's never been about the company needing to fill job openings, but to rid themselves of domestic workers or older workers.
Use solar thermal and livestock manure and the desalinated brine can also act as energy storage. You'll need a lot of space but the world's deserts have plenty of that.
" If her employer finds that they can't attract enough talent because nobody wants to live where their workplace is, then that situation will sort itself out naturally."
So explain how millions of jobs got moved out to other countries. Was that because companies couldn't "attract enough talent"?

NSA doesn't do warrants - they're spies. The FBI may require warrants but they don't operate outside the USA.

"The republicans can't have it both ways" - you have a LOT to learn about Republicans.
Branson isn't tinkerer or inventor enough to be Tony Stark but he deserves another peerage for that naked model surfing stunt.

Things don't always go according to plan, especially with aging infrastructure - http://neinuclearnotes.blogspo...

Perhaps but knocking a nuke plant offline would probably cause a cascade of power outages that could affect millions even if the body count is low.

How is that different from any other government contractor company?
By the way, SpaceX has plenty of customers that are NOT government.
Oh yeah! Well so what?? "It happened one night" dates back to 1934 and I STILL haven't seen a Slashdot story about it.
Frank Capra gets no respect around here.

While a slab of Brachio-bacon sounds tempting, I'm pretty sure that DNA manipulation isn't kosher.
Seems like the appropriate name for it.
Florida or parts thereof is such a place - http://www.bloomberg.com/bw/ar...

Bread & circuses have done as much to shape society as authoritarianism.

Newsflash. VW already makes & sells BEVs.
I'm good with VW paying the fine, just as I had to do when I broke the speeding & stop light laws.
When you break the law and get caught, the gov't gets to tell you a lot of things you can & can't do.
