A few years back Popular Mechanics had an article that was more or less a guide of “how to” create an EMP. Most often it’s thought of in terms of after a nuclear blast, however, an EMP can be generated in other ways, at least per the article. (Why they would publish this is an entirely different matter....)

I’m usually not an optimist, but on the “bright side” of things, it would also take out the electronic database of health records currently being pushed through in porkulus. And, teleprompters for _all_, not just the news anchors!

On a serious note, as others have pointed out, an EMP won’t kill people— at least not outright. It’s the cascading effects that will.

I think that may be the author’s point. But thank you kindly for all of the clever and original Nancy Pelosi-math compliments.
