There are a number of different events that cause blackouts in North America, with extreme weather being the most frequently occurring. Physical sabotage and cyberattacks are also enormous threats, as are accidental causes, including large birds flying into power lines, automobile accidents and construction mistakes.

But one of the most talked-about potential causes for a long-lasting blackout in recent years — and one that has gained so much attention in books, movies and television shows — is an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). Producing intense magnetic fields that can induce ground currents powerful enough to burn out power lines and electrical equipment across wide areas, EMPs have incredible potential for destruction as you can see here.

Whether it comes from a nuclear detonation above the United States by a terrorist group or a massive solar flare from the sun, an electromagnetic pulse has the potential to completely change life as we know it — and not in a good way.

Our vulnerable and deteriorating electrical infrastructure has become common knowledge to the world, and the bad guys are undoubtedly spending a significant amount of time trying to figure out the best way to exploit that. In fact, CNN recently reported that ISIS is trying to do exactly that.

Terrorists are not interested in turning off our lights for a few hours. They want to plunge us back into the 1800s, and that’s what could happen if they succeed in disabling our electrical grid for a year or more.
