‘Black eye’ caught my attention as well.
I’m in the electric utility industry. Never heard the term ‘Black Eye” before, at least not in relation to our industry.
EMP gets tossed around a lot, especially among those tasked with making proactive changes designed to minimize the effects thereof. And yes, the industry is not sitting silently amid the potential threat. Nor are they advertising their actions. Suffice to say that the issue is on the radar, the power system is being hardened to a good extent, and such an attack would still cause plenty of problems AFAIK.
