17. How could That happen
A CME (Coronal Mass Ejection, consisting of gas
and electrically charged particles,is hurled to
earth like a grenade, from a geomagnetic storm
on the Sun’s surface, supercharges the Earths
atmosphere... with the potential to blow power
grids worldwide.
EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse), a nuclear
bomb, detonated in our upper atmosphere,
sending out a wave of “wild” electrical currents
towards the earths surface, destroying
everything in it’s path.
26. An EMP detonated above our atmosphere sends wild
electrical currents frying every electronic in its path

28. What can be done???
Currently there is legislation are on Capitol Hill for this issue 1.The SHIELD Act (H.R. 2417)
(Secure High-voltage Infrastructure for Electricity from Lethal Damage); and the
Critical Infrastructure Protection Act (CIPA) of 2013 (H.R. 3696),
Until then, the best one can do is prepare for yourself and family…
Number One is KNOWLEDGE--
First Aid and Food/Water------First Aid Kit- Water- Emergency Food
Communication------AM Radio/ CB or Ham Radio/ Cell Phone, Compass, Whistle
Protection----BB or Pellet gun/pepper spray, shelter
Money (Putting a $20 or a $50 in you kit might come in useful some day)EMERGENCY CREDIT CARD and a Bible
32. The Beginning of the End
The simplest way to understand a nuclear power plant -- a nuclear power plants takes water---turns it into steam---
which drives massive turbine generators --producing electricity.
An incredible amount of heat/fuel (plutonium/Uranium) called “fission” or the “splitting of the atom” -- boils massive
amounts of water needed to create the steam. This “fission” becomes so hot that the need to be cooled down by
pumps circulating coolants (like antifreeze for your car) is crucial….but those pumps are plugged into the electrical
grid….and when the electricity goes down..so do the pumps…
In 2011, a tidal wave hit Japan and took out their electrical grid. Japanese engineers worked to reconnect the power to the Fukushima Nuclear Power
Facility, but were unsuccessful. After those pumps stopped, the fuel began to melt through the containers, spilling out radiation in every direction. If the
Fukushima plant not been located on the coast where the high waves were able cool it down, the whole site would have gone Chernobyl.
