The Danger of EMPs to Power Grids

Today’s show features Lorne Levy, mortgage specialist with Polygon Financial Group and show sponsor, Glenn Rhoades, National Operations Director of the Electromagnetic Task Force and John Spence, Director of Colorado Electromagnetic Task Force, in studio along with Don Davidson, EMP National Education Director, calling in.  Civil engagement is a necessity in today’s world.  Douglas County passes resolution to petition Gov. Polis to immediately lift all coronavirus restrictions for the county.  The bill of the day, SB21-072 Public Utilities Commission Modernize Electric Transmission Infrastructure, is discussed by the panel.

Lorne and Kim discuss the financial impact of the current COVID-19 “relief” bill.  In essence, it is not a “relief” bill.  Less than 10% of the funds to be released are Wuhan-China virus related.  One example, New York state will see its debt disappear.  The city of San Francisco sees the same.  This bill will cause inflation.  Now is the time to lock in historic low interest rates for your home mortgage.  Give Lorne a call at 303-880-8881.

Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, remarks on the current state of continued fluctuations in the markets.  Now is a good time to analyze your risk tolerance.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to schedule a discovery session and learn whether or not you have a balanced portfolio.

Glenn, John and Don warn us that an EMP, Electromagnetic Pulse, has the ability to wipe out our civilization as we know it today.   Suggestions have been ongoing for over 20 years to fix the grid and the government continually ignores this volatile situation.  Texas has proven the problem’s existence.  The electric grid is key to all infrastructure, and the expense to fix and secure it is by far less than the COVID-19 funds in the most recent relief bill.  All forms of energy are needed along with common sense and technological innovation to secure the grid.  Don explains the work he and others are doing in Rangely, Colorado, including testing on storage of heat geothermally for up to a year.  Glenn takes on the question of additional stress to the grid due to electrical vehicles.  Recommendations to the Biden administration has fallen on deaf ears.  We cannot have a Trojan Horse in our fort anymore.  John concludes the discussion stating that Colorado can be an example on how to protect our grid; local work is important.
