He didn't say they did, he said a coronal mass ejection "could do the same job as an EMP device" - and that is correct.
I hate to break it to you, but solar storms don't create EMP's
A CME does not produce an EMP. The variation in the solar wind produced by a CME causes fluctuations in the Earth's magnetic field. Those fluctuations cause induced currents in electrical transmission lines. Those power surges are what cause problems. No problem for your iPod (unless it's plugging into a power outlet). No problem for your car. If we were not so dependent on electrical power, if we did not have our power and communications grids, a CME would have no effect on our lives at all.

you can't make an EMP device, unless it's a nuclear bomb and there certainly isn't any plans for a working model available online.
From the mouth of Rob Shapiro, a former Clinton advisor..."The bottom line here is that Americans don't believe in President Obama's leadership," says Rob Shapiro, another former Clinton official and a supporter of Mr Obama. "He has to find some way between now and November of demonstrating that he is a leader who can command confidence and, short of a 9/11 event or an Oklahoma City bombing, I can't think of how he could do that."

However at high level meeting by the defence minister Dr Liam Fox yesterday, he assertained grave concern about such devices, in particular air burst nukes that would create EMP that would decimate the whole countries technological capabilities.

Get us all dependant on electronics and technology..
Check
Now take that technology away..
Seems as good and effective premise to me to get martial law on the go!
