O.K. 2019…..totally depressed after reading all of these. Maybe there is nothing we can do. I am 73 and have been prepping since before the 2000 scare, just because I like to insure my food, water, heat, etc. But when it gets right down to it, maybe there is nothing we can do. Another major fear, even with firearms, and knowledge, you have to sleep sometime. The moral compass of today’s society is pointing south…. These are all very well thought through comments, by the way…

In reply to WhoWuddaThought. Good suggestions...everyday, hackers try to hit our power grid. The F.B.I. is claiming at least four attempts daily. People are not even prepared for hurricane, let alone something like this. They will go knocking on their neighbors door. They will be turned down, much of the time. While they were buying season tickets., etc. some of us were putting up our gardens and storing food. People need to think ahead, but many, unfortunately, will not be willing to make the sacrifice. Many do not even own a manual can opener!!!

ITS MARCH 28 2017 I PUT IN YAHOO SEARCH POWER GRID PROTECTION FRIST THING THAT CAME UP WAS DATED 2014 UN F BELIEVABLE. AMERICA FOR THE PEOPLE ? THE MILITARY IS PROTECTED AND NO DOUBT ALL POLITICAL LEADERS HAVE SECURE BUNKERS WITH 10 YEARS FOOD AND WATER. ITS MORE IMPORTANT TO BE THE FIRST TO GO TO MARS THAN IT IS TO SECURE OUR POWER GRID AND PROTECT US FROM IN COMMING ASTROIDS ETC. LOOKS LIKE GOVERNMENT LIVES ALL OF US DIE WITHIN 2 MONTHS. WHEN IT HAPPENS I HOPE ALL OUR DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS WHO WERE HIGHLY PAID TO RUN OUR COUNRTY BROUGHT US TO 30 + TRILLION IN DEBT WHILE THEY ARE IN THERE BUNKERS AND WE ARE DIEING THAT ONE SAND PEBLE ON THE WHOLE GULF OF MEXICO COAST AS TO THE COST THAT COULD HAVE PROTECTED US ALL. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY

In reply to dicky. Dicky, who are u to say something like that! How many of Americans has a chance to go to other countries to live. Plus, it seems like the visitors of another country will try like heck, to live here in the United States. Look at the borders and immigrants coming in and getting free aide in taxes and housing and food. They think like "the land of plentiful and free" That's not close either, we had to work anywhere and a lot of hours to have what we have. Thanks

Something everyone seems to forget is the damage the shutdown itself of the power grid through EMP would create. The total loss of the ability of the power plant to operate also means the nuclear plants would lose their ability to reinsert the nuclear fuel rods into their shut down positions. I.E. the rods would be exposed and continue heating up through the fission process without the ability to cool… China Syndrome, T.M.I., Chernobyl, Fucashima; whatever you want to use as the example, the meltdown would release much hazardous radioactivity into the upper atmosphere as well as the ground water table.

A full scale EMP attack in several regional areas at once would create such a total catastrophe no area of this country would be safe from its effects.

In reply to Robert. 7 Sec restart time. Yes if you have fuel for the generator. Natural gas is controlled by, yep you guessed it electric control valves. Propane and gasoline yep pumping stations and the trucks engines for delivery, control by computers and they most likely will not work either.
