There is no such thing as EMP and if there was it would do about as much damage as blowing a fuse.

??? Really? I remember 30 years ago when lightning stuck a tree outside my house and took out a microwave, TV and my computer. Murphy says everything will sacrifice itself to protect the ‘fuse’.

Additionally, I understand the hard fact of a fantastic energy pulse of minuscule pulse length and what the Fourier transform makes of that in the frequency spectrum.

Yes, no one really knows how much damage an EMP would do.

The grid going down is my numero uno fear. There are 9 major substations that if taken out would put the grid down. I’m more worried about that and a cyber hack than any EMP. The grid will likely go down at some point but EMP is way down on the list of causes.

Plus if the grid does go down it will likely be the NE grid. That would leave the other two in place. But even a few mos without electricity would be pretty bad.

I agree with you. Sometimes I wonder if the people worried about EMP today, are the same ones that were telling us about Y2K.

Operation Fishbowl.

You should bing it up and see what’s what.

EMP is real as the nose on your face. The Russians knew that before we did, actually.

Anyway, fascinating stuff.

By the way, EMP produces a sort of ‘sideband’ effect, where in you see an aurora of a nuclear blast on the other side of the equator at a distance equal to the distance between the blast and the equator.

That’s the other thing Fishbowl revealed.

The answer to all the hoopla about climate change.
