LOL, the only thing that would happen would be massive blackouts that would last maybe a few days, maybe a week for some people. I'm not going to post a bunch of links, but the US power grid is vulnerable in several ways. Just a fraction of the money now being wasted could be used to harden the grid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse Another direct hit Carrington Event level CME hitting us from the sun could black us out for a lot longer than a week. You'd better hope we're not around when another one like that hits us, which it will, sooner or later, as we're totally unprepared. And there's evidence that even stronger solar storms than Carrington have hit us farther back in history. I doubt if localized ground level terrorist attacks could cause that much damage, but a rogue nation like Iran detonating a nuke generated EMP from a satellite or missile above us certainly could..
