Yes the govt has put out a couple of articles warning about it in the last several years. I read one this past year. If you google it you can real all about it. Its a very real threat.
“Its a very real threat.”
I agree. What is the chance of it happening? That is hard to say, but the impact would be unimaginable. If the east coast power grid were taken out, many, many people would die. Just think about what requires electricity to operate. Food supply gone in a week. No gasoline to run the stations pumps. No home heating. No hospitals. No communications. Mass hysteria, armed mobs running the streets looking for food.
