>>13980407>if the earth were hit by an EM waveNothing will happen, take a short calc with the inverse square law how much energy is needed.
Even when, over here every mast is grounded, If there will be a high voltage exceeding the isolation voltage it will be short cuttet every few 100 meters, The whole system is also resistent to direct lightning hits. They have way more voltage and energy compared to sources far away.
The whole thing is a meme, journalist should be shot.
Certainly the shitty infrastructure of the US would be affected, but that - I have heard - is not unusual.
