Solar storms can destabilize power grids at midlatitudes

Solar storms can destabilize power grids at midlatitudes | The Extinction Protocol: 2012 and beyond: "September 1, 2012 – SPACE – The Sun is capable of disrupting electrical systems on Earth in a variety of ways, from solar flares and coronal mass ejections to proton storms. Typically, it is only objects far above the Earth’s surface, or systems at high altitudes at polar latitudes, that are considered at risk except during the most powerful storms."
