Well, okay. But a 100% probability within 10 years? Within 10,000 years? And what does the other Quaid (Cousin Eddie) think about all this?

Imagine a world where you couldn’t call or text anyone, you couldn’t put gas in your car, you could pay for things, and there was no tap in your water. A nightmare, right?
...
Hollywood actor Dennis Quaid is warning that such a scenario isn’t a foreign possibility.
During an interview with Tucker Carlson, Quaid highlighted the dangers of a solar storm that could kill more than 90 percent of the population within a year.
“Basically, there is a 100 percent probability that our sun, generating what they call a GMD, which is a solar storm, that hits hard, hits our Earth, and the magnetic field we have around the Earth, and can fry everything that is electric above the ground, including our entire grid,” Quaid said.
Everything from transportation, our finance system, phones, internet, food delivery, and other aspects of modern life would become obsolete.
“There wouldn’t be water in your tap. You couldn’t get gas for your car because the whole system is broken down. Everything we rely upon would be gone,” Quaid told Carlson, noting that China and Russia have done more than the U.S. to protect their infrastructure.
The Hollywood actor said that those who live in the country would have far more resources and chances at survival than city dwellers. However, Quaid stressed that our society is so heavily reliant on the grid that such catastrophic damage would be expensive and nearly impossible.
During the Trump Administration, the former president tried implementing measures to protect the grid. However, his efforts were halted by regulatory agencies that energy company lobbyists control. Quaid explained that many power companies are privately owned and unwilling to spend the money needed for proper protection of our power grid.

He told Carlson that it would take roughly $100 billion to install protection relays— similar to surge protectors— that could stop transformers from being fried.
This is close to about the same amount of money the U.S. has given Ukraine in its ongoing war with Russia.
Carlson also pointed out that the U.S.’s power grid could be targeted by terrorists from an EMP attack that would have similar effects to a geothermal event from the sun. A nationwide power outage could take months, or even years, to fix.
“It’s something we don’t like to think about, but it’s whether from the Sun or a bad actor, this is something that 100 percent risk it’s going to occur, and we are just in no way prepared for it,” Quaid concluded.
Funny, what Quaid finds to worry about.
His concerns sound like the plans of the Biden Cabal.
Randy’s the smarter one.
Wait...freezing in the dark is a bad thing? I thought it was the stated goal of the greenies.
The Ukraine border is much more important. /s
Everyone should be prepped for it.
A repeat of the 1859 Carrington event, would cause millions of Americans to die of starvation or the chaos that would result from the country being instantly transported back to pre industrial times.
I agree with this. But I’m not sure that I trust what Dennis Quaid has to say in general.
Well, okay. But a 100% probability within 10 years? Within 10,000 years? And what does the other Quaid (Cousin Eddie) think about all this?
The government’s name for this scenario is “Black Sky.”
Dennis used to be a far left loon didn’t he? But who cares. Still shut up and sing.
Dude, if my water was tapping -- That would be a night mare.
If anyone wants on or off the Ping Me When the Internet Goes Down pinglist, kindly FReepmail me. Thanks!
He turned to Christ and is now conservative.
Protective relayng already exists.
Quaid told Carlson, noting that China and Russia have done more than the U.S. to protect their infrastructure.
I’m sure they’ve shared all their infrastructure-protecting efforts with him.
The October Surprise?
Judge Jeannine also is OCD about an EMP.
I don’t think it’s all that crazy, but I don’t look at it from anything occurring in nature — solar. I think itc would be a cheap and easy way for China or NK to take out Americans without destroying our infrastructure.
“that could stop transformers”
That we buy from China ...
with 6 month to 2 year lead times ...
hmmmmm ...... I know I have some candles around here some where ...
but I need a hand crank for my inter web...
