“Maybe this article serves only as a reminder.”
Agreed. The consequences of a pulse would be more catastrophic than people imagine. This scenario which needs far more attention than it is getting.
I wonder what percentage of the populace has even heard of an EMP let alone know what could happen because of one.
However, My generation lived with the “threat” and we drilled in school.
(not happening now)
EMP is a real threat;
Although it would effect all electronic -components by way of high energy impulse, the REAL damage would be the loss of infrastructure (any devices dependent on low voltage components: cell phones, newer autos, computers, etc).
Just imagine if there was NO electric power. for most of US. Imagine the chaos!!!
Well, the good news,the military has been shielding their equipment for decades. AND your most beloved government would not cease to function..(darn!!!) I bet DC has contingency plans, (which include their families.....The rest of us??? (ha!!!)
Sorry people for the sarcasm, it comes with living long enough to see the “rot”
forgive me.
