I still think this is BS.

First, it isn't easy to make a high yield EMP device.

Second, if they had such a big nuke to do it with, they'd use it to kill us, not knock out our electrical systems. Much more grand to vaporize a large city...

Third, the energy density falls quickly as you get away from ground zero. I cannot believe that even a nuke would be able wipe out everything electrical over more than a few hundred miles.

Then back to number two...

That's why I'm curious about Hiroshima. You'd think there would be something recorded about EMP effect, even though it was detonated at 1800 feet. Still high enough to have an effect for a few hundred miles you'd think.

Yep. It's the millennium scare all over again....
