“The graphite bomb was first used against Iraq in the Gulf War (1990–1991), knocking out 85% of the electrical supply. Similarly, the BLU-114/B “Soft-Bomb” graphite bomb was used by NATO against Serbia in May 1999, disabling 70% of that country's power grid. After initial success in disabling Serbian electric power systems, the electric supply was restored in less than 24 hours. The BLU-114/B was again used a few days later to counter Serbian efforts to restore damage caused by the initial attack.
We should de-couple our “grid” but the system is based on the “purchase” of power from system to system. Harden the links against graphite and specifically EMP which a drone (one guesses) or drones may be able to release. Newt Gingrich was and is a real promoter of hardening against EMP. All modern vehicles with “computers” and needless technology— would all... quit running permanently.
Answer: keep a fully fueled (and fuel stock on hand with stabilizer in the tank) 1970’s vehicle with simple non- digital fuel sending.
“Newt Gingrich was and is a real promoter of hardening against EMP.” Also Frank Gaffney used to hit that subject hard.
A great concern. Why this hasn’t been done is negligence of the highest order. Decades pass and nada. Apparently we need a cascading catastrophe-—the consequential magnitude of which is on few citizen’s radar.
