Yea, I know about the Carrington Event, including the one (in the past year or two) that happened to not head in our direction, but would have put us several million years behind the Flintstones.
Regarding the details of a nuclear EMP...I don’t know much about it them - but I suspect that we can harden against them without much trouble - provided we can get past thinking that only Art Bell considers such a strike as credible.
Actually Art Bell has left the show.
Quite a while ago now. His successor George Noory, however, is completely on bass about this topic.
He is one of the only ones. And unlike your reference to Art Bell, Noory is 100% very deliberate about the issue. Intelligent, and very deliberate.
Trump is completely right to pay attention to this.
Trump is right.
“but I suspect that we can harden against them without much trouble -”
My understanding is that power companies have lobbied hard against regulations designed to force them into hardening against EMP. The reason is, any dollar spent that does not bring in a dollar-plus is wasted. The fact that no such EMP event has ever happened is taken to mean that no such event could happen. (This is called normalcy bias.) Therefore the money is wasted.
Since there has been no national leadership on EMP, meaning a significant political force, like a senate committee or the President, the lobby groups have been successful in stopping any significant legislation.
If EMP has the President’s ear then I am very happy. Even mother nature could send us back to the stone age with a burp from the sun.
