We aren’t ready for a solar storm smackdown
In other news, we’re not ready for a ten mile wide meteor strike, or an alien invasion. And water is wet.

Solar Storm Smackdown? Is that planned for the next Wrestlemania?
More seriously, many of the fixes to the grid to minimize the effects of a major solar storm are the same as needed for an EMP attack.

chiefly because the world didn't have a lot of very long wires that are susceptible to disruption. Adding a bit of energy to a telegraph line that normally carries a few watts of power is noticeable. Adding the same amount of energy to a power line that carries hundreds of megawatts would be quite a bit less noticeable.

Is it caused by ‘global climate change’ or will it change the climate?

But yet, we may be heading to a period of a very quiet Sun. In that case, we need to worry about a much colder climate that will really affect agriculture—hope people around the world like eating a lot more wheat, because rice production could be seriously affected.

Where is the “Not this shit again” guy?
Solar events will happen. Asteroids will happen. Yellowstone is going to happen.
Preparing for the event is going to cost trillions. We do not have trillions to be spent on something that may happen, some time, over the next thousand years.
Stuff is getting fixed as they are replaced. But it takes a long time to rebuild infrastructure.
