Chat with an old ham radio guy in Flagstaff flipped how I see signal towers

So I was on a job clearing brush near a cell tower outside Flagstaff and this retiree came by, says he's been on the airwaves since the 70s. He pointed out how the tower's equipment lights blink in a pattern that matches the FCC database, but the backup generators are hidden way off to the side. Then he said the real conspiracy isn't that towers track you, it's that they're all wired to the same grid and one big pulse could knock half the Southwest offline. He showed me a logbook of dead zones that line up with power line routes, not population centers. I've always thought the tracking angle was the big deal, but now I'm wondering if the grid link is the actual weak point. Has anyone else looked into the physical infrastructure side of this instead of just the data?

Next he'll say the power lines are tracking your microwave popcorn.
