They ought to be working on it now. In 1859 many/most had access to farms for food and did not rely on electricity/electronics for almost everything. Today we have millions of people racked and stacked in cities totally reliant on a power infrastructure that could be knocked out for a year or more. A large flare is going to happen. Fukushima was a good example of how woefully unprepared a power company is if there is a loss of grid power and diesel backup. I wonder if those diesel gensets have electronic ignitions that will still function? I used to work for Honeywell, what if the control system gets fried? I still remember those helicopters dumping loads of water on top of the reactors, how effective was that?
