Things are different now. But I'm not going to spend hours explaining.
There's always fear mongering because they're trying to justify their existence.
Please do explain? If am wrong, I’d like to know it so I can rest easy that the power and IT systems are protected.
Are things shielded? Will power companies simply take things off line? Are our systems inherently more robust than copper lines on glass insulators hooked to lead acid batteries? Are there breakers and disconnects that can protect from generation source through high-voltage through last mile?
Seriously (and without breaching any security or secrecy about these systems) I’d love to know how the failsafes work! Thanks in advance!
Cheers, Sirhr
Edit: it also just occurred to me to ask what is the difference between an EMP generated by a high altitude nuclear detonation and the solar MCE events that are raising concerns? Are we shielded from both with faiksages and procedures? Are they different forms of “energy” in that one can be defended against (CME) and the other cannot (EMP) or are concerns about EMP also moot due to the robustness of the whole “system?” Again, generally interested in knowing the facts!
