[Milsurplus] Coronal Mass Ejection

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

Did see a flurry of interest several years ago in both magazine & newspapers. One of the things that caught my attention was how long it could take to recomplete the current (no pun intended) power grid due to the limited production of the so-called super transformers. Could be on the order of two decades in a worst-case scenario, if I recall correctly.

Have you seen the recent articles about the near miss CME a couple of years ago?

Discussion about how we'd lose the power grid and internet.

Those green radios, backed by solar charging, are looking very attractive about 
now.
