Needed or Ignored Ignoring consequences doesn't mitigate the damage in any way. A clear case can be made for fixing the vulnerability of the current power grid to possible CME damage by spending the billions (maybe trillions) needed to fix it. For Canadians and Americans it is a single power grid, the damage from the 98 ice-storm was huge but in a quite a few months things did return to service for almost everyone. What if we suffered a truly catastrophic failure of that system? Only by thinking about the general good now could we obtain a chance to avoid a blow that would paralyze all. Instead, PGE is going bankrupt. I wonder if people in California will move out and leave the landlord (themselves) holding the bag for the power bill?
