NASA is Building a 'Solar Shield' to Protect Power Grids from Space Weather
"A massive coronal ejection could knock down entire power grids for long stretches of time, grinding economies to a halt and making life more than a little inconvenient."
So says the article in PopSci. The peak season for solar flares will be in 2013. Two things I take from this article: 1. The Weather Channel should put this in their lineup for predicted "Weather" and 2. I think this would definitly give tanning salon's a run for their money. I smell a lawsuit coming, No, wait, that's just singed hair.
