This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Luckily, it is possible to shield the power supply from a carrington event at least, and we do have satellites keeping watch. The main issue is making sure all the power infrastructure is actually shielded, which costs money >.<
Bro Texas won't even pay to weatherize their power grid and they know cold weather happens every winter.
Can't say you're wrong tbh :p
Wasn't it because the renewables system broke down
No that was the bullshit ercot put out to cover for the fact that fossil fuel production dropped by half or more. Source:
Natural gas and coal totals 70% of their total generation, and wind was 20%, so losing half of both means fossil fuels was much more impactful.
To be honest this doesn’t make me any more optimistic. I’m sure there are countries that might spend resources on this, but mine 100% won’t. And if the majority of the world is screwed, I guess we can all agree there won’t be any stable place.
This episode of Why Files was really worrying.
