"Citing figures from the Union of Concerned Scientists, the report" is anti-American brainwashing material from the left. I'm sorry that you all fell for that trash.

Look up the information on the Union of Concerned Scientists, and you'll see. Besides being animal worshiping, tree worshiping, homo weirdos, they push to exclusively shrink our U.S. defense, especially nuclear defense. They're not nearly all "scientists," either. And some of the Air Force schools are into witchcraft, too, so wise up.

Don't waste your time and money on hoaxes from the left. Put your resources into protecting our freedoms by giving the President a better House of Representatives next time. And support a strong U.S. defense. Maybe that includes having many academics at academies fired and replaced, too. Fight political correctness. Fight it until the left no longer has the will to fight.

EMPs will only come with a general nuclear exchange. If you're worried about that, build fallout shelters. Because the more you oppose a stronger national defense, the more likely the nuclear exchanges will come sooner and with us at a disadvantage.

I know people here want to talk about what tough guys and pioneer gals they are and can rough it the rest of their lives, but seriously???

First of all, you all would be WITHOUT Free Republic!!!

And that ain’t gonna be a 2-3 day outage (and some of you go insane over just THAT much), but probably forever.

For those in the South, NO AIR CONDITIONING.

And for me, a type 1 diabetic, no insulin.

I’ll die.

Modern life sucks, but it also keeps so many of us alive, happy and prosperous.

SEXY! SEXY!

At this point it’s most important to counter their use against the military. Ships, planes and ground units.
EMP weapons can be non-nuclear.

But everyone is hot for nukes used on civilians.

(Maybe I should read this report and learn something about military concerns and measures to adapt...)

EMP Myths

Women, minorities, LBGTQ communities hardest hit.

For all this time, I thought climate change was going to get us, I never suspected EMP would do us in.

My 67 GTO and my 47 Dodge truck came EMP hardened from the factory.

5G is a horror that should be stopped before it is implemented.

[SgtHooper]

No matter the cause, when the wired infrastructure (electrical/electronics) goes down, that’s when the chaos begins. A week—no; a month—no; but 6 months will stress any group of people, especially a city, where no apparent outside help can be expected. I don’t fear EMP or flares, but I am concerned about our enemies shutting down our major systems through hacking, or surgical conventional weapon strikes on the electrical distribution infrastructure, wherever they may be. Take away the national electrical power grid for 6 months, and chaos will certainly reign.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Governments and businesses should really be hardening their electric and electronic infrastructures, but instead appear to be mostly sitting on their butts regarding this issue.

PING!

We are very dependent upon technology, so much so we have happily and smugly forgotten to learn basic skills and will be lost if the tech quits working.

I have posted the introduction to the actual report, and a link to the actual report on freerepublic here.
