There’s always a vulnerability, no matter how the power is made / delivered. Look at what recently happened in Gary, IN. It took 2 weeks to restore due to wx (no comment on the efficiency of their response). Same happens after a hurricane. Turkey Point nuclear plant was ground zero for Andrew; however, it was all the damage caused by individual substations, etc that limited delivery.Full scale industrial war on a scale perhaps not seen since WW2: Ukraine launches 1,000 drones at Moscow resulting in major damage to another refinery.
With cheap (numerous) but accurate and long range drones, every nation is going to have to re-evaluate all protection measures around bases and critical infrastructure. Long term, wonder if this will be a factor in nations energy choices as refineries and reactors are quite vulnerable?
Ukraine fires over 1,000 drones at Russia, including 'largest ever' attack on Moscow
Moscow’s mayor described the wave of drones as the “largest ever” drone attack on the Russian capital and said there had been damage to the Moscow Oil Refinery and a residential building.www.pbs.org

Even if we had efficient solar and non-nuclear/oil, there’s still a way to damage the system.
And this event is targeted, considering the ‘election’ in Russia.
