Maybe this article serves only as a reminder. The issue may not be this particular instance or source, but the fact that an EMP attack by anyone is moderately plausible (technically and politically) and highly catastrophic (90% mortality rate, the end of Western influence and way of life).
And, although not easy, for a fraction of the multi-year $timulu$e$, by hardening our electrical grid, this extremely high risk would be mitigated.
“Maybe this article serves only as a reminder.”
Agreed. The consequences of a pulse would be more catastrophic than people imagine. This scenario which needs far more attention than it is getting.
I wonder what percentage of the populace has even heard of an EMP let alone know what could happen because of one.
