Keep the Lights On: Help Us Protect America’s Power Grid

What happens if the lights go out, not for hours, but for months? No food deliveries. No clean water. No communication. Experts warn that in a long-term grid-down event, 75%–90% of Americans could die within a year. This isn’t a distant threat, it’s real, and it could happen. Well, what if I told you that the technology exists today that’s been tested and currently utilized but it’s not installed for 98% of America’s power grid? And because of this inattention and ineptitude, nine out of ten of your friends could die? Even you and your own family ? And we can buy this technology to protect the entire nation for only $4 BILLION.

Our electrical grid faces four major threats: cyberattacks, physical assaults, electromagnetic pulses (EMPs), and solar storms powerful enough to collapse our systems for months or even years. Any one of these could trigger what experts call “a year in the dark", the consequences of which would be unparalleled.

That’s why we created the award-winning documentary Grid Down, Power Up, narrated by Dennis Quaid. The film exposes the shocking vulnerability of America’s electrical grid, but more importantly, it reveals real, proven solutions that could save millions of lives. Now, we need your help to finish the fight and bring this life-saving message to the nation.

Our Mission & How you can Help

Grid Down, Power Up has already reached millions through YouTube, NewsMax and SalemNow, with hopeful discussions underway for release on Netflix or Amazon Prime. It has won fifteen awards and has been screened before legislators in Texas, Colorado, and Tennessee, as well as on Capitol Hill. The film has also been praised by national voices such as Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters, Shawn Ryan, and Dinesh D’Souza.

It is seemingly unbelievable but true that just for $4 billion, less than one-tenth of what the U.S. has recently spent annually on foreign wars, we could harden the grid and protect more than 100 million Americans from disaster. With your help, this film can and WILL help make this happen!!!

Looking Ahead & Huge Progress made to date

This and other affordable, existing technology can shield our transformers and protect our infrastructure. Our film doesn’t just sound the alarm, it shows how to fix the problem. After multiple screenings in Texas, our message helped inspire the passage of landmark grid protection legislation in June 2025. That’s proof this movement works.

We also brought Dennis Quaid to Capitol Hill where we provided a full briefing about the risk to the grid. We visited all one hundred US Senatorial offices to inform them of this vulnerability, and dozens of key staffers attended.

We’ve invested multiple millions to create and distribute this film, but now we need additional financial assistance from fellow patriotic, forward-thinking citizens to take it to the next level. Your donation will help us add five minutes of critical new footage showing proven solutions already protecting utilities that serve 55 million Americans. One proven solution will protect our grid not just against GMD, but also against EMP. We consider this a 'holy grail' element to the documentary that will really startle the American public. Additionally, financial resources will help us fund a nationwide outreach campaign to ensure this message reaches every household, lawmaker, and regulator across the country. If more citizens are aware of this risk, they'll more likely take a trip to Costco and stock up their pantry to help them avoid death from starvation.

Other past and continuing efforts have included briefing the majority of Tennessee state senators about the risk, and having attended the national utility regulators conference (NARUC) three times where we informed otherwise naive commissioners and chairmen.

For between $100K and $5 million, we can start and execute a "Movement" to wake up the country to assure this vulnerability is fixed. Every contribution matters. A $25 donation helps us reach hundreds of new viewers. A $100 gift supports direct outreach to legislators. A $500 or larger donation helps fund the film’s new solutions segment and expand our campaign to harden the grid nationwide. A $1000 donation helps us fund travel and conference fees to educate regulators and legislators, and directly lobby for change.

Please don’t wait until it’s too late. Together, we can protect our families, our communities, and our nation’s future. Join us in this mission, donate today, share our campaign, and help us make sure the lights stay on for generations to come.
