The dangers from an EMP—also mentioned in the piece—are real.
“The dangers from an EMP—also mentioned in the piece—are real.”
Agree on that, but I still wouldn’t sell this stuff short. Something out there took out telegraph lines the last time this happened, and that system, back then, was orders of magnitude HARDER than today’s micro-electronic systems.
Just due to my fear of EMPs, I hope we do get a taste of exactly what can happen - not enough to kill 90% of Americans (as strategically placed EMPs will - mostly through starvation), but enough to disrupt us, so we take EMPs seriously.
