As everyone should know, the amount of electricity that america uses has become more of a living requirement rather than an option to use. So what happens if that's all gone? Recently, there is a possible chance that North Korea may use an EMP strong enough to take out the entirety of the US power grid.
Now, this is still a bit more of a possibility, but it seems to be more likely to occur than others things North Korea has done. One of the more important thing about this attack is what it does to our economy. Drastically impacting our trade, as well as the amount of time to repair the issue may take a lot of time.
