>>Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what about the power grid? is there any protection for that?<<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yes there is, and the cost is less than $3 billion according the the Congressional EMP Commission.
Probably the main component og the protection is Faraday cages around all the giant transformers. These completely shield them from EMP.
(Faraday cage means to totally enclose with conductive metal, or even a wire mesh. Easy to look it up if you want more info.)
The TRAITOR OBAMA IGNORED the simple prescriptions of the commission for the 8 years. I think it is because HE WANTS AMERICA DESTROYED AND OUR POPULATION TO DIE (90%).
President Trump is moving as fast as possible to get this fixed ... slogging through the swamp in Congress.
Doesn't make sense to me. Giant transformers are already in big steel boxes, which are Faraday cages themselves. The problem is that the transformers are connected to miles and miles of wires, which the EMP fields turn into huge sources of voltage and current. Each transformer needs giant fuses to protect if from the electricity produced on the transmission lines.
Good to know there is a solution. Thank you.
I think they should redirect the 500 million designated for Planned Parented to start...
