Apparently Electro-engineers are experts in Astrophysics and "Magnetic Clouds In Space" as well as Wiring Techniques.

Is that all part of the NEC exams now? If series circuit A fails, it is most likely due to: A. Murphy and his pesky law. B. Burnt out light bulb. C. Magnetic Clouds in Space. D. All of the Above!

This is quite a cooincidence. Maybe they are spreading a little disinformation in preparation for taking down the grid on purpose. Then they can have a reason to start replacing the grid quickly so the conglomerates giant can start building some more switchgear.$$$

I had a thought. The Large Hadron Collider might have another purpose.
Could it be that the main purpose of the collider is to produce an electromagnetic field around the earth to counteract the effects of an emp?
I know they say it will be used to recreate the conditions of the universe after the big bang.
I think there is a far greater purpose for it.

O.k. if you will....
I fore-see this as another attempt of fore-warning by people who kinda think something is up but don't have the brass tax knowledge of closed door profit line board meetings.
8-10 years ago certain finacial guru's kinda felt the market was heading for something bad but they weren't high enough up on the "know" scale to offer what was really going on...and sure thing "market crash"
When engineers see that something is not right and things don't make sense then well the upper managment knows whats coming... they might not know the day it's gonna happen but they can get a round about figure. Well if you apply that common sense approach to the "de-regulation" of power in many states like here in D.C. and the 70% increase in rate hikes...Hmmm well if I knew that people were going to not have a need for orthodontic applainces in a few years I might be also in the line of thinking about rate hikes to "drain the well" before it goes dry. People the snake is right under your feet while you were looking side to side instead of under feet.

Hmmm, maybe why thee want the guns away from people and why they chemtrailing the skies and why planetX is so Hyped up !!!
To get the focus on something else ... Distraction as it were ...

I know for a fact that here in Norway the government have been digging the powerlines down into the ground for a couple of years now !!

Freaks me out how things starting to click together...

Lets understand EMF effects...Lets say you wanted to take down the US...

You would not need a nuke but EMP weapon.

Take a ship place it under North Korea flag. Take a scud for about $100.000. The important point is timing that is you would want it just after thanksgiving at rush hour. At a year where many storms have just hit Florida. Off New York east coast. The effects.
1). Cars stop, jets crash, trains stop. all transportation stopped and most importantly plugs the streets. You can not well get in or out. That includes food, water (as pumps fail) and sewer (the john plugs) no trash pick ups all lights out at night. It is also facing winter getting cold.
2). This would bankrupt the system. Nor could you get your money anyway. Understand it would take years to fix the grid and clean up the mess.
3) The West coast is open to North Korea nukes if attacked.

electromagnetic radiation destroy a transformer.. Really?? I must have missed that in Electronic Engineering.

I was going to debunk this, but I think I'll just subscribe to this thread and watch all the fun.

meh, wether or not the article is correct, it could still happen if you get a big enough EMP.
glad i have backups, and don't really run on the rest of the area's power

and boxes of printed out files on how to build similar things, science, recepies, and all sorts of other topics, since there wouldn't be anymore internet to look this stuff up


i dont know if anyone ever read Fitzgerald's War, but it had a similar scenario, worldwide EMP's caused by a group of scientists. killed all the world's electrical systems and everything reverted to a 19th century level of tech, like steampunk.

interesting that this thread was posted on posted on 7-4-2009 @ 13:30 and it started gaining popularity again the day before the news about china and possibly russia hacking into our power grid
