Look at how many pages are posted on the Zimmerman thread and ask yourself that question again. The "News" reports what we want to hear.....not need to hear.

I don't worry about that... Can't tell you why.

I worry about a freighter off the coast shooting a missile into our outer atmosphere and EMPing us back to the stone ages. Can't tell you why on that one either, but the relationship between North korea and Iran has been in the news in the past.

Along the same lines, I worry about North Korea putting a nuke in orbit and EMPing us. They successfully put a satellite into LEO and it passes over the United States several times a day.... What if that was just a nuke with solar panels and an antenna?

I thought the EMP scenario like in One Second After would take a ridiculous number of nukes in LEO to achieve the same effect. Or are you talking about a single nuke taking out some geostationary satellites?

One in the right place (outside the atmosphere) would take out 1/3 to 1/2 the country. We no longer make industrial size transformers and these would most definitely blow from the strike. Last I read, 6 months minimum to replace them.

Three in the right places and the country, most of Canada, and some of Mexico are done...

Ultimately, nobody really knows for sure except for some obscure information from an "accident" that occurred in Russia back in the 80's (or was it the 70s). Most of that info is under lock and key in Russia.
