Obama weaponized our intelligence community against conservatives instead of concentrating on threats from foreign enemies... They took their eyes off the ball and are still unable to give accurate assessments of the actual threats caused by hostile foreign governments.
The problems caused by EMP theoretically are as devastating as this article postulates. It is possible that many electronic devices could be damaged across a fairly large area in addition to damage to the electric grid. Obviously, this could create huge problems for our communications infrastructure. Our fuel production and distribution infrastructure could also be affected or even crippled.
Surprisingly, the electronics in most vehicles even those made in the last 20 to 40 years probably would survive or be repairable once replacement parts became available. But it is very likely that there would be widespread shortages of fuel. So the prices of bicycles and skateboards would probably go through the roof.
