Right. When was that last experienced?
_Jim,
While your debunking of alarmist articles is something I normally appreciate without always agreeing, skipping the Carrington Event of 1859 there have been five damaging solar flares since 1972. The have taken out part of the AT&T grid in Illinois, certain satilite systems and the similar moderate impacts. A time or two in the last 45 years they have played a part in electrical grid outages or “events”.
As the events are random events within the eleven year solar cycle, they are not unknown and like a comet strike, a super volcano or other similar catastrophe they may be more likely than an Obama Third Term and certainly bear some discussion in a senisble manner.
This isn’t ConTrails.
1989.
And the electrical grid hasn’t been hardened for such since.
