Professor William Forstchen talked about how an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack could disable the power grid over large swaths of America. If fission bombs were detonated above the country, a gamma ray burst would trigger an electromagnetic disturbance, knocking out the infrastructure below it, he explained. Such effects have been demonstrated with high altitude nuclear tests such as Starfish Prime, and can be seen on a smaller scale in this video clip showing what happens to a Ford Taurus that gets zapped by EMP. Forstchen said in an EMP attack the power grid might be down for months or even years. He also warned that EMP effects could be caused by solar flares, like the superstorm that occurred in 1859. He suggested that people call for Congress to recognize that EMP is a real issue, and move toward strengthening America’s infrastructure. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett has taken this subject seriously, he added.

@Hybrid5226 You need an EMP generator, but it’s impossible (yet) to squeeze it in small scale device, it requires a great amount of energy.

EMP is a scary bomb, and worse than a nuke imo, like its torture. Yes a nuke kills everything in its path, but a EMP fries all electric technology. No communication, no cars, no nothing, falling helicopters and planes… OK i’m exaggerating but still an EMP would be scary

In 1859 there was a solar Coronal Mass Ejection(CME) that was large enough to fry every electronic device and satellite on Earth. It did not harm people and there were no electronics or satellites to be destroyed. No one knows when the next one will happen.
