It’s nothing to laugh at. But I will be laughing when it does hit and everyone cellphones go out.

Its going to be worse than your cellphone going out if we get one like 1859 where all the telegraph wires fried. Something like that would blow out a lot if not all of the large transformers on the grid. They take 2 years to build and they are built in another country. Part or all of the USA could be without electricity or with minimal electricity for 2 years or more. It would create havoc and daily life would be a struggle. A lot of people would not make it.
We are taking it very seriously and planning for an alternative electrical system, probably solar and not tied to the grid.
This is not about climate change. The solar activity runs in natural phases and we are entering a very active phase. The chances for a large solar flare in 2012 or 2013 are very real. It is definitely something to be concerned about.
