It missed us by 9 days

Great video and explanation. We need to rebuild our power grid not only to withstand solar flares and other natural disasters, buy today to withstand hackers, EMPS, and sabotage. Best would be to move power transmission and substations underground where they would be shielded from solar flares, and EMPs. Also we should install batteries at most end users nodes. This would even out loads during normal operation allowing the grid to operate at optimum efficiency, and provide backup during power outages. It would even permit us to shut down the grid when we know a solar or EMP event is iminent.
