This was discussed in the movie Ocean's Eleven. From my understanding, the pulse is not permanent, but temporary. So, in case of an EMP launched against the U.S. Just wait about 5 min, and then try to start your car. If it doesn't start, the EMP is not your problem :) Doug > -----Original Message----- > From: FiestaCranberry@webtv.net [SMTP:FiestaCranberry@webtv.net] > Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 1:45 PM > To: type3@vwtype3.org > Subject: [T3] EMP > > I'm reading a book about the effects of a nuclear war.
