And why not? If you’ve got sales fundamentals down, the requisite experience, and are a good, eager learner, you too could go from selling baseball gloves and timeshares to wind turbines and offshore drilling platforms (somebody must sell those platforms, right?). In my case, it wasn’t quite the quantum leap to go from…

There are people in America with the means and motivation to disrupt local, regional and even national power distribution. In 2013, the Metcalf substation shooting highlighted the vulnerability of the nation’s electrical grid and became a case study regarding the expense of repairing and hardening of electrical system assets. Metcalf was an iconic event but multiple other shootings preceded it and have followed in Florida, New York, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Vermont, and Arizona. The risks and impacts are…
