Solar storm aftermath? $2 trillion in fixes

WND

byF. Michael Maloof

WASHINGTON – It was in January 1994 that two Canadian telecommunications satellites blanked out during a major sunburst while in geosynchronous orbit and communications were disrupted nationwide.

While recovery occurred after only a few hours on the first satellite, it took some six months and more than $70 million to recover the second satellite. 

Then in January 2005, some 26 United Airlines flights had to be diverted during a space weather storm to non-polar routes – to avoid the prospect of high frequency radio blackouts.

Added were landings and takeoffs, flight time and other factors that elevated fuel consumption and costs. Each route change ended up costing more than $100,000.

Then in February 2011, there was a sun eruption experts described as the largest solar flare in four years. It caused interference in radio communications and global positioning system signals for aircraft traveling long-distances.

While it was a modest outburst, experts say it signaled the beginning of an upcoming solar storm.

The National Aeronautical and Space Administration along with the National Academy of Sciences is predicting that the Earth could be subjected to a solar storm maximum as part of the sun’s 11-year cycle.

If there is a direct hit, these agencies say that the impact could be catastrophic.

They say, brace yourself, it could cost upwards of $2 trillion in the first two years, affecting some 160 million people and could take anywhere from four to 10 years to recover.

“The sun has an activity cycle, much like hurricane season,” said Tom Bogdan, director of the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colo. “It’s been hibernating for four or five years, not doing much of anything.”

      False flag nonsense.

        @JWMacey

        You’ll need to explain how the sun plays games on us. I don’t get how this could be a false flag event. Are you suggesting the PTB are controlling the sun and using it to attack the earth to attract attention to further certain agenda?

        What “nonsense” are you on about?

      ““It’s been hibernating for four or five years, not doing much of anything.”

      And it’s still not doing much. In fact its only produced half the activity of the last solar cycle and is now looks to be heading back to minimum. The sun doesn’t “hibernate” but goes through an 11 year cycle of minimum to maximum activity.

      • Mayhem

        I agree, Pix, this eleven year cycle has been well documented and there is substantial evidence in support of this well known anomaly.

        Did you also know that there is a one hundred thousand year cycle as well? It is this cycle that causes planet earth to go in an out of a continuous series of Ice ages.

        I contend that the current Holocene period is well past it’s expiry date and that an ice maximum is fast bearing down on us.

        Your thoughts? Ma’am.

      Aug 19, 2010 … “Physics of the Impossible” author Michio Kaku on the consequences of a massive solar storm to our global infrastructure and economy.

        @Chris Strunk,……. Michio Kaku is not quite as credible as you might think. Sure he knows plenty; not the least being, big words. Try typing his name and the word ‘wrong’ into your favourite search engine. Do the same to all the PhD’s that you hear mentioned along the way. Hmm? Plenty of lettered people prepared to put their reputations on the line. Michio relies on the Goldfish Bowl mentality in order to make a living, good for him.

        I see the man, Michio Kaku, continually moving the doom date forecast as each one comes to nought. He expends a lot of energy telling us….. not much that we don’t already know. Then all he has left is as weird as 11 dimensions and yet, he expects me not to object. I object! Michio Kaku: your theories are nothing more than mildly interesting as is my own opinion.

        (Capital letters considered) :neutral:

        @zeus, is that 2012 DA14, it’s about as big as a large bus is it not? Has it reached it’s closest approach to the Sun yet? Wake me up if and when it gets past Perihelion till then, why worry. :smile:
