"Pertinent comments of Dr. Lowell Wood, noted physicist at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory:

… the basic point is that essentially all of our conventional military capability and all of our civilian infrastructure is highly vulnerable to EMP damage. The dollar numbers in the civilian infrastructure alone can be conservatively estimated at several trillion dollars' worth of infrastructure which is at risk potentially even from a single pulse—several trillion dollars. So the Congress might properly or appropriately be minded to engage the issue on the basis not only that defeat of our conventional military forces but a very, very profound economic damage to our civilian infrastructure is possible.

None of the above men are alarmists. Yet their warnings are indeed alarming, especially considering recent events just off the Chinese coast.

And the bottom line is that now, in 2005, as a result of the treasons of 1993-2000, the power and technological advantage enjoyed by the Chinese is probably, in large part, the result of (bartered for political support) research reports, design specifications, computer models and hi-tech machinery provided by the United States. And, when we are called upon – most likely within the next two years – to defend Taiwan, we will find ourselves confronting an enemy largely armed to the teeth by one of our own Presidents.

Our men will die, our weaponry and equipment will be blown up, and freedom-loving nations will find themselves facing an ominous predator unlike any the world has ever known … in large part because of William Jefferson Clinton’s thirst for power, allegiance to a leftist political agenda … and obsessive desire to manufacture a personal legacy."

the implications are tremendous. We as a people are not prepared. Does anyone have their own generator? Is there a way to shield it? Are the products available? Should we all buy an old pre 1975 car? This is so immense that it is difficult to know where to begin with any sort of descent effective preparations.

There was a TV show about the survival of the US after an emp "Dark Angel". Believe it ran for 2 seasons. Bicycles were important means of transportation.
