re: Who’s buying: An EMP attack by North Korea could shut down the US power grid and kill '90%

I’m having trouble buying that the North Koreans have a delivery system and a nuke reliable enough to pull off such an attack.
They may launch missiles and attempt to set off bombs to cause the pulse but their track record is spotty at best. And if they try and fail, the return fire from us will likely ensure they don’t get another chance.

not me and i posted why in the other thread.
it would take many hits across the country to do so. all 3 grids are seperated by a ac/dc/ac interconnect and if one gets trashed the other two will be fine and will be able to transmit power to the failed system until generation there can be restored.
one or two EMP can trash a local chunk of a grid but will not and cannot take down an entire grid.
