Turn off the lights. You may sleep better.
Bad tacos keep me wake at night.
On balance, electricity probably makes our lives miserable, once you consider all of the negatives. I think many people would enjoy going back to the mid-1800s after a week of getting used to it. I believe my family would.
Though, we don’t live in a city.
Read “One Second After” if you have not gotten a chance to yet. Fiction to be sure but very believable.
I thought “One Second After” was enough to keep me awake at night...
...then I read “Day of Wrath”
Even if it’s not half as bad as One Second After - it’ll still be a nightmare...
As long as you could survive the first year and plant food, etc., ok but remember the mini-ice age like the 1770s+ has begun. Also what comes around goes around. Eye for an eye, grid for grid, hear me Iran, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and of couse Russia. China could start it and make it look like Iran? Love the movie “The Sum of All Fears.”
Someone needs to find out what professional group “staged” the attack on the Southern California Power station a couple years ago.
Read that last Summer. Very unsettling. Stepped up my preps a notch after reading that. All radios Faraday protected now. Working on alternate power sources next.
Thanks for the tip on Day of Wrath, I’m gonna grab it later tonight.
Couldn’t agree with you more. The amount of people that would die as a result of an EMP (and no, I don’t think it would take out the whole country) would be staggering. Hell, even if some of our larger capacitors were taken out by lots of gunfire, it would still be just as bad
So how did you know what the spacing is on the “cage” or are you using mesh wire?
Excerpt:
“However, the effects produced by a nuclear explosion were not fully realized until the “Johnston Island Test” in 1962. This nuclear blast had a yield of 1.4 megatons at an altitude of 250 miles. The explosion damaged a number of low earth orbit satellites and caused malfunctions and early failure of others. Another effect that was noted during the blast was a blackout up to 600 miles away of high frequency radio communications that lasted for hours. It was caused by disruption of the ionosphere. It also popped circuit breakers, street lights went out, burglar alarms rang, and power lines went down in Honolulu, about 800 miles away. In Nov. 1962, all above ground testing was halted and our testing and analysis was limited to underground testing, analysis of the existing atmospheric test data, nonnuclear simulation, and theoretical calculations.”

It wasn’t a POWER station. It was a substation. There’s a huge difference not to mention at a power station there’s a good chance utility guards would have shot back.
Sorry Dude, I was thinking there was generation at that site. I stand corrected.
Perfect!
