What would happen if America lost electricity,
. . . for a long period of time.
Hurricane, Hackers, Solar Flare, or imagine a
. . . Nuclear blast, occurring somewhere above eastern Nebraska.
. . . Radiating outwards, the EMP fries electronics in southern Canada, and
. . . almost all of the United States,
. . . save Alaska and Hawaii, both safe below the horizon.
It permanently damages the grid’s multimillion-dollar high-voltage transformers.
. . . Many are old (their average age is about 40).
. . . Some burst into flame, further damaging substations.
A country’s electricity grid can be knocked out,
. . . in another of other ways, and
. . . blackouts suggest that,
. . . things can get bad, very fast.
