When compared to the costs of the grid going down for an extended time, a few billion dollars is a bargain
A report by the Center for Security Policy (CSP) paints a dire picture regarding the vulnerability of the U.S. (and by extension—Canadian) electricity grids from man-made or natural electromagnetic disturbances. The CSP and others in the national security sector have been beating this drum for a number of years, but unfortunately all too little is being done about the risks.
William Forstchen even wrote a compelling must-read novel on this topic—One Second After—back in 2009. In 2004, the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack also released a report which reached the following conclusions:
Several potential adversaries have or can acquire the capability to attack the United States with a high altitude nuclear weapon generated electromagnetic pulse (EMP). A determined adversary can achieve an EMP attack capability without having a high level of sophistication. EMP is one of a small number of threats that can hold our society at risk of catastrophic consequences. EMP will cover the wide geographic region within line of sight to the nuclear weapon. It has the capability to produce significant damage to critical infrastructures and thus to the very fabric of US society, as well as to the ability of the United States and Western nations to project influence and military power.

Read “One Second After” to appreciate our vulnerability. As a Luddite I’ll be less affected than most...but it will still be life-changing.
He’s a blog pimp, he will never respond to you, you are supposed to go to his blog to address him.
No, it's because he's Canadian! :)
Oh well, pity him...I’d have been willing to share my opinion, but now he won’t have the chance to be enlightened.

This means we’re safe until Obola leaves office.
See, Putin, the NK, and ISIS would never attack the US this way - because Obola is destroying the US much more efficiently as is.
A few million Americans across the continent dead in terrorist attacks and the grid down due to same: Do you think Americans will be begging for martial law (marshall law for you in Rio Linda)? I’ll bet Bill Ayres thinks so...
Bill Errs is all for Frank Marshall Davis (no Bacon) Law.
