Yeah - I think the plan is to open ip as much of the grid as they can to try spread the current but if itâ(TM)s an x50+ etc- wouldnâ(TM)t have thought much chance of it saving it.

Even switching off the grid will not stop current being induced and transformers overloading. As I understand - a transformer takes six months to build and six months to install - with power. Imagine 50 or 60% of them blowing up. Couple that with a magnetic field thatâ(TM)s tanking - so the protection we get from it is weakening⦠Some estimates are it would take years maybe a decade to recover - if we do at all - ie decades and back to the Stone Age as our civilisation ends. Not a great outlook for the next 30 years :( But of a rabbit hole when you dig into itâ¦

Engineer the most common and numerous organism on the planet that has the ability to replicate super fast to suck co2 out of the atmosphere. What could go wrong...
