The premise of One Second After is an EMP attack. Suppose that would be like a major Carrington event

Not exactly correct. The premise is a Nuclear EMP, not a solar. they have their own characteristic. A solar can be planned for and much damage prevented by unplugging stuff and shutting it off. A nuke EMP doesn't care and will fry it anyway.

The Soviets tried it on their own people and it was a failure.

Thanks for the distinction.

12 hrs to prepare would help shutting down stuff with a Carrington event. How much would that protect the grid>
