Apocalypse Rising is a terrific, eye-opening book that goes into chilling detail what exactly would happen. It would plunge the country back to the 19th century - and for many years, if not permanently. The reason? Those thousands of burned out transformers are not even built in the US, and there would be no way to move them into position across the country.

I agree with you 100%.
I had hoped that Newt Ginrich would whisper in President Trump’s ear on this issue as Ginrich understands the danger and vulnerability of our grid. Was hoping it would be in President Trump’s infrastructure plan and the Infrastructure legislation.
ACtually they’re built in China, with several years lead time. At least the big ones that would be the most likely to be destroyed in an EMP event.
Isn’t globalization great.
I think it would be worse than going back to the 19th century. Back then people didn’t have stores so they grew and maintained their own farms and machines. Now people panic when Netflix goes out. It would be like dumping millions of city folks on a island with handtools and telling them to fend for themselves. It would be like every cheesy post nuclear war movie ever made rolled into one.
