We’re playing roulette with our power grid that has no back-up parts, thanks to Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski, who gutted the bill that could have protected the grid, nationally.

Lisa Murkowski Blocked Effort to Protect US Power Grid — “Within 12 months of an EMP attack or a massive solar flare, between two-thirds to 90 percent of the U.S. population would perish!”

If the grid goes down, some estimate that 90% of Americans would die during the months following, and all of the nuclear powerplants could melt down! (Related articles linked below)

Biggest solar storm in years strikes Earth without incident

“One of the strongest solar storms in years engulfed Earth early Thursday, but scientists say the planet may have lucked out.

Hours after the storm arrived, officials said there were no reports of problems with power grids, GPS, satellites or other technologies that are often disrupted by solar storms.

But that still can change as the storm shakes the planet’s magnetic field in ways that could disrupt technology but also spread colorful Northern Lights. Early indications show that it is about 10 times stronger than the normal solar wind that hits Earth. …

This time, Earth got dealt a good card with a northern orientation, which is “pretty benign,” Kunches said. If it had been southern, that would have caused the most damaging technological disruption and biggest auroras.

“We’re not out of the woods,” Kunches said Thursday morning. “It was a good start. If I’m a power grid, I’m really happy so far.

But that storm orientation can and is changing, he said.

“It could flip-flop and we could end up with the strength of the storm still to come…
