I won’t kid you...it IS enormously depressing. I kept waiting for some glimmers of hope and they finally do arrive a year later when relief from around the world begins to arrive in America.
It’s interesting that, with communications out, Americans do not know who hit them nor if we retaliated.
It was written as a wake-up call, but, as is the case with all warnings of dire catastrophe, it has been all but ignored by TPTB. Unfortunately, the Uniparty / K-Street / Big Business cabal has their own competing agenda to destroy America. The $9 TRILLION that Obama pissed away could have gone a long way toward hardening our infrastructure against this well-known threat.
I read an article that stated that one of the problems with hardening the grid as a political issue is the fact that there is no specific affected constituency—at least not now, which is truly bizarre as we would all be affected if an EMP explosion went off.
RE TPTB, there was one politician who tried to get this issue the attention it deserved...Roscoe Bartlett, an old-timer and member of Tea Party.
Roscoe an American politician who was U.S. Representative for Maryland’s 6th congressional district, serving from 1993 to 2013. He is a member of the Republican Party and was a member of the Tea Party Caucus. At the end of his tenure in Congress, Bartlett was the second-oldest serving member of the House of Representatives, behind fellow Republican Ralph Hall of Texas.
2 articles highlight the issue and his efforts:

Wish he was still around in D.C. to make noise, but he seems to be living off grid, practicing what he preached.
