This would depend on the state in which you live, but stealing electricity is typically charged as larceny and could net you several months in jail , or prison time. States typically will look at the dollar amount, ie >$5000 is a felony, etc.

What are dangers of stealing electricity from the national electricity grid?

The same as stealing anything else. With the exception that you're deeling with high voltages and power. To steal electricity, you'd need to modify or create a connection to the electric grid. Depending on the magnitude of power you pull, this can be detectible by the power company immediately, or will be detected given enough time. But the main point is you have to get close to the line, which is a bad idea to say the least, unless you are trained, and have the proper protective equipment. Besides this, you face prosecution when (not if) caught.
