Factor in the effects of Ground Induced Currents, and get back to us.

The headline mentions “EMP disaster” — that’s what prompted me to mention Forstchen’s book.

“Factor in the effects of Ground Induced Currents, and get back to us.”

GIC’s are what potentially damages transformers in a Solar Flare Event - but only if we take no steps when we know it is coming.

“The headline mentions “EMP disaster” — that’s what prompted me to mention Forstchen’s book.”

I know. it’s a common misconception. People don’t know this, that’s why I keep bringing it up. It’s a complete misconception though. A solar flare will not impact electronics.

Folks may run to buy a “faraday cage” to protect against a solar flare because of the misconception. No need for a faraday cage for a solar flare.
