Good news for power grid security?

While it doesn't look to be a panacea, this seems like a good step:
Can emerging technologies improve the way the American electrical grid operates? 
The Department of Energy is seeking ideas for such technologies through a $1 million challenge posted to Challenge.gov. The agency wants concepts for new technologies that could be used by the energy sector to improve the efficiency, safety and cybersecurity of the country’s electricity system.
This does seem like progress is a traditionally neglected area.

    Step one: disconnect it from the internet.

    Step two: done.

    What Randall said. Electricity, like water, seeks its own level.

    1. Disconnect the power grid from the internet.
    2. Build more power plants near where the power is used.
    3. Declare victory.
