She never said it wasn’t real, only that nobody really knows how real it could be.
EMP is fickle, it depends on a lot of environmental conditions to be effective. The fix for protection from potential EMP is not terribly expensive and is a wise thing to do anyway to protect from a large solar flare.
The major threat of an EMP is supposedly what it would do to our electrical distribution system, the “Grid”.
If you really are afraid of an EMP go put a bunch of solar cells on your roof and a bunch of batteries in your basement. While that would be expensive to do enough to replace the grid it is not terribly expensive for minimal backup power to keep the frig going and charge your phones.
I went whole hog with 12KW on the roof because I like my A/C in the summer and my heat pump in the winter. Most people don’t have the understanding it takes to maintain and operate something so large. To some it would seem too complicated, to me it is just fun.
I don’t think we will ever be subjected to an EMP unless it is in concert with bombs dropping all over the place, it that event EMP will be the least of our worries.
