The SHIELD Act will amend the Federal Power Act to protect the bulk-power system and electric infrastructure critical to the defense and well-being of the United States against natural and manmade electromagnetic pulse ("EMP") threats and vulnerabilities. A solar storm is predicted in 2013 to cause an EMP. An EMP would force the planet back to the dark ages in a nanosecond and take a decade to recover from. How heartless and inhuman! To defeat this monster / tame this beast, pass the SHIELD Act now.
