Although the complexity of the grid and the physics from the effects on the grid make the exact outcomes of an event highly unpredictable, it is not beyond careful extrapolation that Coloradans will be affected. Electric Grid is susceptible to the effects of Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) from either natural or manmade causes.

Without a functioning electric grid our modern civilization could not survive.
