it is not the EMP that you have to worry about - it is WHO or WHAT causes it ... if it is a "bomb" dropped by someone - they aren't just going to drop it without a plan ... they wouldn't "bomb" the entire nation - that would senseless - but it they did it "right" it will leave them with total control over the "masses" because THEY will have enough technology in a "safe - place" to get them back "on line" (if they even go off-line) you can bet that their grid is hard wired.


If it is an "act of nature" (kill shot) then it wouldn't be localized, but turn out the lights around the world ... no "help" forth coming (like in the Nat Geo scenario)- no matter which - the people living in major Metro areas are doomed - of their own free will.

we built this nation before electricity - and ET technology - I believe we can (re)build it better - without our dependency upon it ... you can modify a bicycle and generate electricity and if it is simply an EMP and not a pole shift -
I trust that (collective) pockets of humanity will be able to deal with whatever issues that arise - and we'll do a much better job the next time.
