After the pipeline got shot down, it got me thinking about our electrical grid. If they managed to sit it down for just a few weeks, the damage and loss of life would be catastrophic. Why on earth are these systems even accessable to anyone outside this country?

i know atleast 3 Factories in Germany you can access the PLC from the Internet for remote Maintenance.

also i do know that there are some Control Computers in the local Coal Power Plant and the local Water Treatment Plant are connected at certain Times for routine maintenance since i worked in a Factory that produced alot of waste Water so we had a steady connection and we use the same Coal Unloading Station
