Our society today has grown dependent on its communication systems, its guidance/navigation systems, its electronically-monitored economic system…The list goes on and on. One effect of a direct hit by a CME would be similar to the blast of a nuclear bomb in the lower atmosphere, causing electro-magnetic disruption of power supplies that [...]
