» 'Controlled' power cuts likely as Sun storm threatens national grid
Officials in Britain and the United States are preparing to make controlled power cuts to their national electricity supplies in response to a warning of a possible powerful solar storm hitting the Earth. In an interview with The Independent, Thomas Bogdan, director of the US Space Weather Prediction Centre, said that controlled power “outages” will protect the National Electricity Grids against damage which could take months or even years to repair should a large solar storm collide with the Earth without any precautions being taken.
Let it burn. Then maybe we can get that infrastructure upgrade that doesn’t waste 75% of the power created.
