I would bet a lot of Steammpunkers will save the world.

What is Steampunk?

Personally I love the concept, almost anything we take for granted is run instead off of steam, trains, tanks, cars, even computers. Many a surrealistic anime film has been made and its a very popular underground cult.

Of course Hollyweird wouldn’t DARE create a film on how all America after such an attack reverts to steam without falling into a nationwide ruin.

BTW this series is on a prime time station? so I won’t see any of it then.

Oh yeah it may be inevitable about an EMP attack, so its time to hoard your coal and get yourself a steam engine conversion for your SUV.

Part of it may be a latent anti-Americanism, but another part may be budgetary. It is cheaper to get a few crossbows, cobble together some swords and rent some horses than to build a steam powered version of this
Gene Roddenberry did a couple of post apocalyptic t.v. series in the mid-70's. I think either one of them would be more uplifting than this.
