I've asked this before on a survivalist forum, and never got an answer that made sense.
Why is it that there's an assumption that's validated by the media that an EMP attack would wipe out civilization for years to come?
Yes, it would suck. Yes, for a short period of time, there would be a fairly high death toll. Yes, it would be really crappy. Yes, it would be hard to deal with for at least say, six months. And no, I don't have any faith in the government getting the lights back on in a decent amount of time, especially after seeing what's happened/is happening in Puerto Rico.
However.
The corporations will want the power back on. They're not making any money if people aren't safe/aren't fed/housed/clothed. Knowing as I do that our society has turned into one giant consumerist mudball, why wouldn't your local electric company be busting its butt to get things fixed?
Please somebody explain to me why the power would still be off five years down the line, because almost all of the media surrounding EMPs just doesn't make sense to me in that manner. At all.
Thank you!
