[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3556495, member: 77814"]Do you believe humanity has the knowledge and skill to recreate things that have already been created ? Or would it just degrade nonstop ? The days without Internet are not disasterous. An EMP would instantaneously short circuit all electronic devices that are exposed. But even then so, stuff outside of the "EMP blast" would survive. If the entire world was EMP'd at the same time then we, as humans, still have the skill and knowledge to rebuild up to where we were in very short order. The surprising thing is, solar panels would not be affected by an EMP strike. The Charge Controller would though. But mine is in an aluminum cabinet, which surprisingly something as simple as aluminum foil and plastic bags would protect something from a large EMP. So, even after a large EMP attack, I may still have electricity without even really preparing for it. So if there was an emminent EMP attack, I'd pull out the heavy duty aluminum foil and plastic bags and start to wrap everything. I wonder if an Aluminum body Ford F-150 constitutes a good Faraday cage? Or even an airliner in the air which is made from aluminum (and not more modern carbon composites).
