Strongly oppose There is a pretty confusing, but very widely used in the field, term "grid security" (currently a section in this article, but fully deserving an article of its own) that has very little in common with the physical security (see
Power system reliability#Security). I think about it in terms of
armored vehicles: in order to operate, they need a reliable network of support ("logistics security" in the form of repair shops, fueling depots, etc.) and physical security (infantry support, etc.). While without either one the vehicle becomes a useless heap of metal, these two issues have little else in common. Just like it is hard to imagine an article that covers both infantry tactics and fuel logistics, I see little synergy between expanding the generators/transmission facilities and protecting these same facilities from misfits. The fact that in both cases the same word "security" is used is a pure coincidence, IMHO. For the avoidance of doubt, this comment assumes that the merge proposal involves this article. I have no position on other merge discussions that are hinted at in this request, see some of them on
Talk:Electrical grid security in the United States (perhaps this request should be moved there, too?).
