One reason I will never get rid of my TS-520S all discrete components not a ic in it.

....It is called "Congress".
Didn't the green new deal include rebuilding the power grid, along with every other structure in the country? Maybe the waitress really does have things figured out?
If that happened today the numbers are something like 90% fatalities in the first year. Worst case. Imagine, no electricity. Cars might not work, if they do, no gas is pumping. How long can nuclear reactors keep cooling fuel rods from melting . Oh boy. TEOTWAWKI. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Harden our grid. Its about time.

Ironically the power to run the reactors comes from the grid, they are not self sustained........
The lesson learned from the Fukashima Diachi disaster is to plan for the "impossible".

George Noory from coast to coast has been hammering about this for years on his show
They have a few weeks, month tops in diesel to run generators. One of the biggest coverups in the world was and still is Fukashima.
I don't know about the power grid but she does want every single building in the country completely rebuilt, upgraded to GREEN tech it would only cost 137 Trillion dollars but don't worry she will only tax you up to 70% to get it done and if that dont work a cardboard box held together with plastic straws will.
Fukashima was a freakish disaster of a Tsunami hitting it square on. Most power plants have a static inverter net work to keep critical systems powered up until the diesel power back up comes on. Then they can get the system back on line. However if a sizeable EMP event occurs there may not be any "On Line" to send power out.
The huge transfomers and all pole pots would be smoked and it would take about 15 to 25 years to recover and the electronics industry would be on it's ass with no computers to design IC's, transistors, or circuit boards. We would be right back to the late 1800's.

Its a big, big big, deal hardening the grid. Glad Trump is at least addressing it. Lets see what gets done. There are a couple of scary books. One Second After by William Forstchen. Takes place in Black Mountain , North Carolina. Doomsday type of novel.
As long as they keep burning coal so I can charge my electric car.....
