lets start with a simple fact.

there are 3 grids protected by ac/dc interconnects.

one emp cannot take out all 3.

they are so large that an emp can damage one but not take it out.

I read that it would take 7 years to get one of our grids back online if it went out. 90%? doubtful but it would be total chaos.

Second fact: multiple black start units throughout the grid. Using those to supply Aux to other power plants to get the grid back up would not take days much less years. This is retarded.

You guys realize that a EMP would take out more than the power grid. Anything with an electric circuit would be useless.
