Department Of Homeland Security: A Major Sun Storm Would Leave 100 Million Americans Without Power - Excerpt

http://www.businessinsider.com/bill...e-millions-of-americans-without-power-2014-12

(Truly a black swan event that is unimaginable. Wonder what impact would this have on the markets? Possibly trillions of dollars worth capital could be wiped off - and there could be many legal issues as how to settle outstanding positions. What about the social impact/cost? What would be the value of Gold / Silver / Dollar / currency??? How could people trade / buy stuff if there is no power to operate banks / ATM's / Radio Stations / TV etc? This is something that boggles the mind. In the US, some people do prepare for such eventuality storing batteries, water, rations, ready to eat meals, hunting tools etc. But what would happen to most people / cities / cultures / religious beliefs?)

Millions of Americans face catastrophic loss of electrical power during a future magnetic space storm that will disrupt the electric grid and cause cascading infrastructure failures, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) document. DHS’ Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) stated in an internal 2012 fact sheet outlining its response plan for severe “space weather” that the actual impact and damage from a future solar storm is not known.

“An analysis of the space weather impacts indicates that the greatest challenge will be to provide life-saving and life-sustaining resources for large numbers of people that experience long-term power outage from damage to the US electrical grid,” the FEMA document, dated March 1, 2012, states.

The FEMA fact sheet noted the findings of a 2010 study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the agency that monitors sun storms, warning that an extreme solar storm could leave “130 million people without power for years,” and destroy or damage more than 300 hard-to-replace electrical grid transformers. Major solar storms are rare. Two major solar disruption events took place in 1859 and 1921, times when electricity was less prevalent than today.

As told in the post to DSM: I do not want to go political nor religious in this thread nor calling for any what ever. Still, today I was pointed into the direction of the following songs, which exactly where produced at Christmas time. They where produced in the past and given to the public at around Christmas time to point out the destiny others have. Those songs and videos do criticize certain actions in the world, demanded from politicians and of course also and shame fully still demanded from religion leaders. The videos are not for any taste and may shock you a bit:
