At least nukes in space do the job. Wind turbines in space is just greenwashing and would be totally ineffective!

'Take out the sewage system'
WTF, is the sewage system totally reliant on electronic communications.
'Curses we've lost the sat link to the main shit valve, our only hope is Dave the 'shitshoveller' Johnson and his wrench'
Dave turns valve with superhuman strength, Iran's plans to cover the US knee high in turds is foiled.

 

[MYstIC G]

Because all the shit you put down the pipe just magically disappears into thin air.

Moron.

No it goes to the sewage works, well now anyway, it USED to go into the sea untreated.
They are saying that an emp would take down the computers and electric valves and they
have no manual backup..well yes I guess they are saying that.
