I also would be curious about the efficiency of said weapon. Most of what research I believe the US did into these kinds of weapons revealed that they wouldn't be very effective. Just because it's nuclear doesn't mean it's going to magically transmit it's energy over a 1500 mile wide radius through the air, and jump past all of the plastic and metal "shielding" around your electronics and the wrapping around the electrical system. I'm not saying it's impossible, I just think that if it were that simple to transmit electricity efficiently to devices, maybe we would have good wireless electricity already. Update: I'm sure these guys are at the center of the scare, so they may be biased, but here it is all the same: http://www.empcommission.org/docs/A2473-EMP_Commission-7MB.pdf http://www.empcommission.org/docs/A2473-EMP_Commission-7MB.p...
