All,

POPULAR SCIENCE put a piece out (January 24, 2025) that really resonates with me. Could the Carrington Event happen again? It happened in 1859. Today, it would be catastrophic. Talk about bad. Can you imagine? So much energy from a coronal mass ejection that the resultant solar store melted telegraph wire as big as a pencil. Imagine what it would do to all the tiny stuff tied to the grid today. Yikes!

Realistically, it’s not a matter of, “if”, but “when”.
