While I hate all the idiotic “green” regulations on businesses and products, it seems it would be prudent to places some EMP hardening requirements on certain civilian electronics. Maybe not coffee makers and toasters and other non necessary electronic items, but why not on all auto electronics, gas stations, switching electronics for electric and gas pipelines, hospital equipement, banking and ATM electronics, telecom systems, airlines, trains, etc. We should also make sure that our manufacturing facilities have EMP hardened electronic devices so that we can continue with manufacturing and replacement of parts in the even of a strike like that.

The military has some EMP hardened electronics, it seems it would be only prudent for the same to happen in certain civilian electronic applications. We could make it so that an EMP might be a big hassle, a mess, but not something that would have the potential to bring our country to its knees and be completely overrun by our enemies.

My God, Man. Are you insane?

Railroads... and everything that services them... If trucks, cars, and planes are knocked out it'll be trains that keep us alive.
