Maybe because we are earthed already the EMP (if they ever did use one) mite not work so well???

Yes, many houses around the planet has this ground network linking all electrical devices to the ground. It protects the user from electrical shock when you touch the casing, structure.
But you need to make a conductivity test with a ohmmeter to really be sure that your electrical outlet is linked to earth ground. I'm saying this because many times, it is not.
But remember you need a licensed electrician to work in the electrical network of your house.
