I agree that the wargaming (your word not mine) of zombies and and robots taking over are likely to never happen but the power grid going down is a REAL threat. The infrastructure has been there for a hundred years and is faulty at best. You've never experienced a blackout? I live in the city and just about every summer we have one. there were big blackouts in new york not that long ago and they had a big one in the 90's. If 1/4 of the country lost power for a week it would have massive effects. Even hurricane Irene knocked out 20000 houses for about a month. Your going to tell me that our electrical grid is indestructible. Promise me that if you can't plug your phone in or nuke your hot pocket your not gonna kill yourself. Your obviously not prepared . How you gonna happens play with your little pee pee with no cartoons.
