Funny, I have tons of responses to this stuff, none of it very insightful. Oh well.

EMP effects can be huge. According to Wikipedia, "An air burst at the right altitude could produce continent-wide effects." But I've heard EMP guns are almost impossible, due to the excessively high energy they'd require.
Supposedly, President Shrub is (or was) looking to develop nuclear bunker busters. Haven't heard that rumor in a while now.
Biggest test I've heard of is a Soviet 50 megaton bomb. If the number doesn't look like much, go look at yields on the 100suns site, then read this again.

Just occurred to me: If it weren't for the radiation, we'd probably all be alot more personally familiar with nukes.
