   How do we deal with severe solar storms?

   • Still, persuading people to implement safety measures is difficult, because severe solar storms are what people in emergency management sometimes call low-frequency, high-consequence events. Such events are emotionally, ethically, and pragmatically vexing, and we respond to them in curious and inconsistent ways.

   What happens if a solar storm hits the Earth?

   • As the Earth’s magnetic field changes in response to a solar storm, it can cause huge currents in power lines that blow out transformers and compromise electrical grids. Studies of the United States alone have predicted that a major solar storm would leave tens of millions of people without power, some for weeks, months, or even years.

   Are solar storms a threat to the energy sector?

   • Mark Olson, of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, concedes that solar storms present “a very challenging risk” to the energy sector, not least because we still know relatively little about them. But, he says, when a major one happens, “the North American grid won’t be taken by surprise.”
