    Okay, seemingly our current world is evolving towards a totally electric civilization, with EV's  as well the PV smart highways with subdivision solar microgrids/solar farms popping up everywhere...etc-  Shouldn't we be very concerned with building resilience into these futuristic systems against such X-Flare events, not to mention other indirect weather repercussions ? What would these protective technologies even look like ? Current research and actions * IE - Upgrading grid infrastructure with more robust transformers, installing Geomagnetically Induced Current (GIC) blocking devices, implementing advanced monitoring systems to detect early warning signs of solar storms, developing rapid response protocols, and coordinating with space weather forecasters to proactively adjust grid operations during solar events; essentially focusing on preventative measures, early detection, and mitigation techniques to minimize potential damage from powerful solar flares. Amazing we may soon be using the sun to power our world ironically, while at the same time the sun could end it all If - If we don't get this thing right. 

    The Sun has unleashed the most powerful solar flare of the current solar cycle, sending intense bursts of radiation toward Earth. Solar flares, which are sudden explosions of energy on the Sun’s surface, can disrupt satellite communications, GPS signals, and even power grids on Earth. Scientists are closely monitoring the situation to assess potential impacts, though no immediate threat has been reported. This flare marks a significant event in the ongoing solar activity cycl

    For most its just, "Oh, look at the pretty lights in the sky".

    Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. For space conditioning, passive solar heating and passive cooling may benefit from a little electricity for control, like for automated shades or automated windows, but they often work well enough with manual or no control. This largely eliminates the failure mode associated with a power outage, regardless of the source.

    Yah with the wars escalating around the world, the concern is more with a human induced electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapon that could be far worse than a solar flare.  Nevertheless as mentioned automatic systems that are stand alone could be way less affected regardess if EMP is natural or manmade. Yet  indirect,  hurricanes that are fueled by the Sun's heat causes water to evaporate, which fuels the storm, as the  Earth's rotation causes winds to curve into the famous hurricane shape ( Coriolis effect )  that has caused way more damage to structures and grids than otherwise.  Resilient Solar should be incorporated into designs at a very early stage to assure the system will still perform after the storms when people need them the most.

    The terrifying effects of an EMP attack

    The impending EMP attack starts at 57:15 minutes into the interview if you want to fast forward. 

    Distributed solar and batteries are helping North Carolina communities that were cut off from grid power by flooding. Should utilities build them into resilience plans?

    Tucker Carlson..... seriously...

    As for human EMP, long ago in the famous movie, "The Day After", the first nuke strike on the USA was about 100 miles up genning an EMP, causing all the fleeing cars to stop dead on the interstates. Then no one was going anywhere.

    Yah,  Tucker Carlson is pretty serious about what he believes which in a way is a good thing but nevertheless we must explore all sides of every story if we are " seriously " going to understand the big picture and also where the people are standing on the issues. For instance  we saw this post a few months back about, " Solar Power Is a Scam "  on the Tucker Network of course we dont agree with all this but to be honest in our research everything has to be looked at and considered for after all we all live under the same sun.  It will take time to transition from where we are to where we need to be meantime there will be huge breakthroughs in all energy fields and currently all is needed, but in the end we both know that solar will win but that might be decades down the road through the natural evolution of emerging technologies for instance it took 20 years to transend from horse and buggy to automobiles during which time both existed side by side. Besides we just cant put our blinders on and march off into the sun without everyone else right?

    "Yah,  Tucker Carlson is pretty serious about what he believes ....."

    Anyone who is willing to lie to the masses, even if the lies are threatening Democracy itself, for a paycheck, is deserving of only one thing.

    If it looks like a Duck, walks like a Duck, sounds like a Duck, its a Duck.

    Its just like $hit. Its stinks. You don't have to wallow in it or keep checking to verify that, Yes, it still stinks.

    If it stops stinking, the world will come to know in due time without promotional help. Anyone who does, or had associations with Fox Fantasy or the extreme right, has nothing to offer except a path to Fascism at this point in time.

    So, I will pass.... So truthfully, nothing to see here....

    When accountability, REAL Physically accountability is brought to all the offending parties since 2016, then a celebration will be in order.

    But don't hold your breath.... I think this TFTD might be appropriate:

    "TFTD#332.  There is a scene in Condor the series, S1E9 titled, "Death Is The Harvest". Bob Partridge (CIA under director) is in the Bedroom of CIA director Reuel Abbott, a Psychopath/Sociopath and religious fanatic (Of course), holding a gun to the back of Reuel's head. The following dialog proceeds in part;

    Bob: "Been a long time since Sunday school, but I don't remember GOD offering absolution for murder".

    Reuel: "There is no sin so great that GOD cannot forgive it, Bob".

    Bob: "Will GOD forgive me if I splatter your brains on your wife's bed?".

    Reuel: "Absolutely".

    The CI (Creative Impulse) for me at that moment yielded, "If Reuel's belief is true, it completely reduces to zero any meaning or relevance for Truth, Morality, Ethics and Justice. For if there is no ultimate accountability, or even a shred of judgment acknowledging the parameters of Good as we feel and believe them to be, what is even the point of delineating Good and Evil in the first place? None."

    BTW: Great series on Prime, MGM+."

    Well Yes, In a free world everything is laid upon the table for review, and each person is entitled to their point of view no matter how much we may agree or disagree with that opinion.  But as they used to say back in the day.. When the $hit hits the fan it goes everywhere left, right left and even straight up the middle. Just like sunshine it is everywhere. The only difference is how we use the sunshine we get, as some heat water, make electricity, photosynthesize crops, drive cars whatever with energy from sunshine, while others might just complain about the heat, or the lack thereof and or the  sunburn on their skin or the suns glare in their eyes on the way home from work.  All forms of media is just out there, and in America will be for a long time to come as a free society backed up by the constitution and the bill of rights.   I seriously doubt the grand ole USA will become a fascist government in any form no matter the out come of elections and for me it is just a waste of time to spend a lot of time on these subjects.  It takes both sides, the left wing and the right wing to make the Eagle fly.  Lets just stay focused on the EYE!  


    Imagine the " truth" of the matter is God does not forgive anybody. One reaps what one sows, as for every action is an equal and opposite reaction as Karma is a Universal Law,  But in any case of the human condition, humans can forgive each other for what ever reason, but few very few actual do as most will hold that memory,  or grudge, or guilt till the day they die. Whole religions are formed around this idea of forgiveness but have you ever wondered why?  It is because it is so damed hard for one human being to actually really forgive another human being,  so the war continues, the fight, the  lack of love, the indifference within the human family thus they will  always seperate into all the various groups, religions, parties, and nations of the world until just maybe someday the human family will find a way to true peace and prosperity on this planet.  I for one believes that will someday be achieved through the use of solar energy throughout the whole world at every level as the single most common source of power for all.

    Instead of "Whistling Dixie", try this. The time is right.

    ""In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true. ... Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness."
    ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism"

    We only ring the Liberty Bell , The Dinner Bell and in the distance a few Cow Bells round here. 

    Tunesmiths, Wordsmiths,  and Blacksmiths makes our solar world go round.

    Yah I agree a lot of Politicians will say and do just about, about anything for a vote. Then we put them in charge of some pretty important stuff when we all know they are just Politicians all with superior tactical cleverness as you say just another day in America. We try not to get to worked up over this political crap, as our peace of mind, and good ole down home entertainment takes precedence to soothe our souls.

    Meanwhile some " Naivety " Heading towards the Sun and the subject at hand--As They Might Be Giants ?   Someday People will wake up to realize it was all propaganda and they have been lied to for 10,000 years.

     

    Okay we did discover this clip about her movie. We will check it out.  And what was this to do about Solar Flares?   Or did you say something about President Trump if elected might extend tariffs on Chinese solar panels, or maybe even limit them altogether as this Made in America Crusade implements USA manufacturing once again?  Reminds me of another great Lady Author,  Ayn Rand  as  " Atlas Shrugged "  Then America reinvents herself and heads off in a direction no earthly one has ever even thought of before, somewhere over the rainbow, far beyond the Wizards of OZ  - Just because, Just  Be -  Cause!   I'll Stop The Motor Of The World . . .
