We are rightly concerned with the political and economic situation in America, but nevertheless, there is a very high likelihood that the failure of our national electrical grid and national infrastructures is what will get most of us killed within this decade.<\/p>\n
The probability of a solar or nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) occurring over America this decade is probably more likely than not. It is a scientific fact that an EMP can put America back to the infrastructure conditions of the 1800’s but trying to support ten times the population.<\/p>\n
We should be aware that an EMP can happen at any time but most in America are either not aware of this threat or they are treating this threat to our society as if it were little more than science fiction.<\/p>\n
It is critical that Americans wake up and do something about this threat because this is by far the number one reason why the majority of Americans may not even see the next decade. So before you start making plans for the 2020’s, you had better make sure that your representatives in Washington have taken the action necessary to make your survival to that decade even a likelihood.<\/p>\n
They need to make the hardening of America’s electrical, communications and electronic infrastructures the number one priority for the self defense of this nation.<\/p>\n
There are at least three ways that most of this nation could find themselves literally in the dark for weeks, months or even years within this decade (the percentage is my best guesstimate):<\/p>\n
1. Successful nuclear EMP’s over America originating from an enemy.\u00a0 > 50%<\/p>\n
2. A Solar EMP due to an explosion on the sun.\u00a0 >10%<\/p>\n
3. A coordinated enemy cyber attack on our grid, power plants, and communications infrastructures.\u00a0 > 90% (An enemy cyber attack is probably not going to lead to millions of deaths in America although fairly long local power outages could bring riots in the cities that have been impacted by the power outages and also bring local shortages and martial law)<\/p>\n
America simply cannot support its present populations without modern electricity, electronics and communications. The estimate from the experts is that 70 to 90 percent of the population of the United States would die if they could not get the national power grid restored within weeks.<\/p>\n
Whether you would be one that survives to live in the EMP generation might depend on where you live, divine providence, or on your own preparation for survival without electrical power. Will you be able to survive in an environment of no electricity and a complete breakdown of society? Most will not. There are small areas in America that are not dependent on the grid but those people would still be vulnerable to the other general infrastructure failures.<\/p>\n
