pilsner.urquell writes "A newly released NASA report warns that the world
has forgotten the power of the sun, creating a technological society
susceptible like never before to [0]large infrastructure damage from solar
storms. According the report, the world has grown so dependent on modern

risking major communications, finance, transportation, government and even
emergency services disruptions."
