The solar EMP event in 1989 knocked out power across Quebec and melted transformers in New Jersey. The breakers are mechanical and can't trip in time to avoid damage.
And that wasn't an engineered attack.
We need protection from both natural and man-made EMP.
ATT did some work on their trans-oceanic lines after 1972. But the tech was much more robust, back then. Tech is smarter now, but much more fragile.

“The solar EMP event in 1989 knocked out power across Quebec and melted transformers in New Jersey.”
The Candian outage of 1989 was a CME of the sun and not an EMP. The two are not even a close similarity, and if you knew the first thing about such matters you wouldn’t have tried to relate the two. A CME is a continuous power load to the electrical system, but EMP is an extremely brief and different kind of disruption.
And exactly how long did it take to replace those Canadian/US transformers? A few years while millions died as claimed will happen with EMP? Nope. A few hours really. Try 9 hours.
Sorry, but your “We’re all going to die!” theory just isn’t holding up to logical scrutiny.
