A cyberattack or sonar flare could wipe out the power grid. A flare came close to hitting us back in the Summer of 2012. Increase in Sonar Flare activity this year. We could easily secure our grid that would cost us a cool 2 billion, but politics stops us from being protected. But we can give Pakistan 2 billion a year in Aid. I'll tell you KK I really hate politics and big government. Risk of another Carrington-class solar flare is expected to peak by early 2015. In the summer of 2012, Earth narrowly missed one estimated to have been more powerful than the Carrington Event and 35 times the size of Earth.

KK, LOL many other countries hate us and would love nothing better then to collapse our grid. It's not if, but when. A new report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared for Prime Minister Putin by Director Anatoly Perminov of the Russian Federal Space Agency states that an Arkon-1 military satellite monitoring the western coastal regions of North America detected an “EMP anomalous event†occurring on November 8th at 0600 Pacific Standard Time (-8 hours GMT) that bore the “direct signature†of a YJ-62 subsonic anti-ship missile fired from a Chinese People’s Liberation Navy Type 041 submarine (NATO code name Yuan-Class) [photo 2nd left] known to be patrolling approximately 200 kilometers off United States coast. Target practice here. This is just one scenario.

Joey never mind as i have meeting at 11am on this topic. I think I have the two processes covered. Thanks for looking out for me.

It would bring us to the 1860s again with 93% of total to death.

Former CIA Director James Woolsey recently co-authored an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal in which he warned an electromagnetic pulse or EMP attack "could bring our civilization to a cold, dark halt." What is EMP and why should Arizonans care about it? EMP, or electromagnetic pulse, is simply a burst of electromagnetic energy which can be produced by both natural causes, such as a solar flare, and by man-made mechanisms or weapons. Such pulses of sufficient intensity are capable of overwhelming or destroying any electrical device that is not specifically shielded against such a burst of energy. Unfortunately, basically all of America's electric grid and infrastructure currently falls in the category of being unshielded against such an occurrence. You have been warning about this for years. How real is the threat? This phenomenon has happened before and our susceptibility to it continues to grow. Within the last two years, we saw a potentially devastating solar flare that, despite missing Earth by approximately two weeks, nonetheless interfered with GPS satellites around the world. What would an EMP attack look like? An enemy could intentionally detonate a nuclear device at high altitude above the United States. According to the Federation of American Scientists, "A large device detonated at 250 to 312 miles over Kansas would affect all of the continental U.S." How would our lives change in this country if an enemy attacked us in this way? Our entire American way of life relies upon electricity and electronic technology. Our household appliances, food distribution systems, telephone and computer networks, communication devices, cars, airplanes, factories, power plants, bank ATMs, even water and sewage plants could potentially grind to a halt without it. Moreover, while much of our critical military hardware is shielded against EMP, our military relies upon our largely unsecured civilian grid for more than 90 percent of its electricity needs in this country without which it cannot affect its military mission. According to experts, including Dr. William Graham, who was the White House science adviser during the Reagan administration, an EMP attack over the continental United States could render 70-90 percent of our population unsustainable. What countries have EMP capability that we should worry about? Theoretically, any country that has a nuclear capability and fairly rudimentary missile technology could have the capability to conduct an EMP attack. And we know that Iran — the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, which has provided weapons to terrorist groups around the world for years — is not only actively pursuing a nuclear weapons capability, but has specifically conducted military tests that are consistent with an EMP attack. What should the United States be doing to defend itself against this threat? As chairman of the EMP Caucus in Congress, I have introduced two vital pieces of legislation that address the threat posed by EMP. The SHIELD Act, HR 2417, and the Critical Infrastructure Protection Act (CIPA), HR 3410. These bills would take a number of important steps, including increasing awareness about the threat, helping states begin to secure their respective infrastructures, bridging the gap between industry and government to create standards and processes necessary to harden our grid against the threat. What's the prospect for those ever passing in Congress? I believe language from both bills has a very realistic chance of ultimately becoming law. There is a moment in the life of every problem when it is big enough to be seen by reasonable people and still small enough to be effectively addressed. Experts are beginning to see that the time to address America's vulnerability to EMP has come.

There are over 100 different scenarios that cause it to blackout the world. I recommend everyone get a copy of the Newsweek special edition magazine today at your local grocery.

Can you help with this questions? Recommendation on 2 processes that can be improved and purpose solutions for our department. Any suggestions are great appreciated.

We all have addictions. Gambling is one of them or you wouldn't be here. I bet we all have others. Care to share? Addicting personslities usually have many. It's a life to death or something more serious. Did that just make sense?

Completely wrong here Racheal Maddow. Please tune out to thst screwy liberal news. EMP is a serious threat. Yes we all should be ready. Our power grid is vulnerable. Terrorist attacked one of our grids two years ago on a dry run. You liberals are living in fantasy land. Keep going on 420 King Kong.

Many here share the same addiction.

Who is ready or doesn't give a fuck?

Just don't expose lies and bash one side. I see both sides Joey. I watch and listen to both sides for the past 20 years.

How is your Boxer doing?

I understand you back his views. Your both are clearly on the other side. 98% of professors are liberals and brain wash. My points are very clear and credible. We did this over at EOG and we all know each other's views on politics.

Kinger rules can't be more clear...well stated and thanks for the addition.

I have a friend that carries four guns at time with it actually makes me feel safe. Also have friend that has 75 rifles mostly AR15s with a 500 meter range. 2nd amendment gun owners are some of the nicest people.

But it makes you feel safe!

It's just me you don't want the 50 cent socks. He sent me two different socks. Everything went into the fireplace with a Manhattan drink to watch it dissappear.

Billy inherited Regans great economy. Yes Hilary is a socialist. 98% of libs are...Jeb is Rhino, but closet Liberal. He was for common core and for illegal amnesty. Pretty sure he was s supporter for Government healthcare also. We will never agree on anything political when you listen to NPR and Rush here. LCD is good people...

Killary has to much baggage attach to her. She has no appeal and frankly she is boring and not too bright. She was a disaster as Secretary of State. The world is worst off and she has Benghazi on her shoulders. This will come back up during the debates. "What the hell difference does it make". Killary is a socialist also. Another liberal in office will ultimately destroy our country. Big government and everyone should be equal. Free market capitalist is the best path to prosperity.

Boxer is a nut job and still won. Tells you how screwed up Cali is and Jeb is the worst of the three. I honestly think he is a straight up closet liberal.

Kinger is ice cold. Time for a break kid.

Gave you Boise St last night. Can't keep giving out winners if you fade me.

Heard he may never play football again. The new Ricky Williams.
