power gone?

Earlier this month I spoke of the "dark city scenario" where a massive power gone event crushes our country. What I did not address was how this blackout event could take place.

There were many theories like hackers, lack of coal, a solar flare, but now there is a new possibility - an EMP. North Korea could detonate a missle high in the atmosphere over the pacific ocean. The massive EMP can cause a total blackout of the entire US. The future of electricity is quite different than we imagine.

This would also explain why I saw no cars on highways and cities were empty. Without power we are gone.
