The Quantum Threat Isn't Coming. It Has Already Started.

Most discussions about quantum computing begin with a question:

"When will quantum computers become powerful enough to break today's encryption?"

It is the wrong question. The more important question is:

"How long will it take to protect the world's critical infrastructure before that day arrives?"

The answer is measured not in months—but in years.

For years, the conversation around America's electrical grid has revolved around one question:

How do we build more power?

The Wall Street Journal recently framed the challenge in stark terms. Utilities across the United States are preparing to invest roughly $1.4 trillion over the next five years as electricity demand accelerates, driven by artificial intelligence, hyperscale data centers, manufacturing, and electrification.

For years, cybersecurity experts have warned that America's water and wastewater infrastructure represents one of the nation's most attractive targets for cyber adversaries. Last week's coordinated attacks against multiple water systems in Minnesota—and the subsequent reports of similar activity expanding to additional states—demonstrate that this threat is no longer theoretical. It has arrived.

The Next Megawatt May Already Exist

Northern Virginia has become one of the clearest illustrations of America's emerging power dilemma.

An NBC4 Washington report this week highlighted concerns that the extraordinary concentration of data centers across Northern Virginia is placing increasing strain on the region's electrical infrastructure, raising questions that now extend beyond electricity prices and economic development into grid resilience and national security.

The concern deserves attention. But the more consequential question is what we do about it.
