I’m kind of curious what the power companies are going to do with less than 30 minutes warning?

Not to mention almost every vehicle’s computer fried, every domestic and commercial gizmo fried, etc.

We probably could harden things, but it’d take some effort.

Pull switches and unload some boilers begin to start peakers (peaker plants) for starters ..

They already have plans that are put in effect when geomagnetic storms begin to rage due to a very similar effect (when induced currents begin to flow in the high voltage transmission lines on so-called 'tie lines' between large generation and load-centers that comprise "the grid".)

NOW you're buying into the hype. Do you WANT to panic and fret about something QUITE remote and OVERBLOWN (testing of consumer/commercial equipment doesn't reveal NEAR the susceptability some would have you believe)?
