This has got to be the dumbest idea ever!...can you say: Carrington Event?..with our shields down 25% Captain, said Scotty...we are vulnerable to another event like that; not to mention a certain uoon from Nk or an idiot that "neverdidajob" in never never [I]ran, an EMP event at this time would shut down the world grid for years.

Whatcha gona do when the lights go out... bunkie?

Many Gulchers like the digital idea...I on the other hand, observe that just maybe this is not the time to do such a thing in total. Not until we have some technological guarantees that the grid and digital infrastructures are properly fortified.
