I'll take the official report of a team of experts over your egomaniacal, self-proclaimed expertise.

I haven’t claimed nothing should be done.

I am stating the legislatures, particularly ones that recommend installing hardware that has already been installed for decades, are not the ones to make the right decisions.

Your insults and assumptions of my expertise are really not germane to the decision. And you are the one that brought that subject up; I merely corrected your mistake.

Have you read and understood this report? Does it match the proposed legislation? It doesn't. It describes very different recommendations and also states:

It is impractical to protect the entire electrical power system from damage by an EMP attack. There are too many components of too many different types, manufacturers, designs, and vulnerabilities within too many jurisdictional entities, and the cost to retrofit is too great. Widespread functional collapse of the electrical power system in the area affected by EMP is possible in the face of a geographically broad EMP attack, with even a relatively few unprotected components in place.
