David Pyne, who contributed to the congressional EMP task force's reporting and served at the Missile Defense Agency, says a 2008 commission estimated America could lose up to 90% of its people within a year of a major EMP event, because pumps, water treatment, fuel and hospitals all die with the power: "National defense is about preserving the United States of America and its people.
