Near-Miss Solar Storm Would’ve Cost 2 Trillion
Solar storms aren’t usually on people’s list of things to be scared about. However, in 2012 we were almost hit by a solar storm that would’ve sent us back to the 1800’s technologically speaking. Our current way of life, ruined. Trillions in dollars would be spent in repair. Lives lost from failing electronics and riots. The worst part? There is a 12% chance of this occurring in the next ten years.
