My fiancee’s nephew works as a higly placed consultant for NASA and he told us that the govt’s number one fear is an EMP. It would only take about $100 mil to harden the grid but not to worry folks Congress recently announced that they have no plans to do it. Spending money on something we really need just seems so foolish.
If you have no plans for an alternative electrical system think about it again as we will all be on our own if the grid goes down.
I listened to a show the other day, it was a broadcast interview with a guy who is a construction specialist.
He specializes in and owns a company that builds basically hardened underground bunker type places and upgrades existing structures to make them more impervious to surviving various kinds of SHTF attacks.
He is very pricey, so he has alot of high-end clients. He described them as being mostly “rich republicans”.
The number one fear that his clients had, the main reason they were moving to/upgrading their environments, was...
Total economic collapse.
I thought it was interesting to hear it from a guy who is basically hands-on.
I just read this AM that it will take something like $600 (I THINK that was the figure) BILLION to harden the grid. Might want to check your numbers, I’ll look for where I saw it.
