“Whether it’s an EMP attack, a kinetic attack, a cyber attack, or a solar ejecta, electricity has evolved into becoming our life support system.
I laugh when folks say it would take months to fix everything back to okie-dokie. In weeks our cities would be in flames and only cannibals would be left.”
It might take weeks/months to repair the grid (and other damage, and there will be a LOT of that) after an EMP attack, but only if said attack was very limited in scope (i.e. a failure, which only affected a relatively small area). Otherwise, prepare to live in the world of the Walking Dead.
Matt, you are (as usual) right again. We’re looking at high levels of normalcy bias, compounded with arrogance and intellectual laziness, in this thread. People won’t believe this because they don’t WANT to believe it is possible. Well, guess what, wishing something away does actually MAKE it go away.

Exactly right.
And I see that none of the skeptics responded to you.
Normalcy bias is very dangerous.
