Solar flares, which we aren't hardened against would fuck us. A decent hacking attack on the order of a stuxnet that would somehow overload some stations.
what about an EMP from a nuke? Then, not only are your power stations down, but everything electronic in the EMP radius would get cooked.
so yeah, it could happen.
