Just in case you didn't have enough to worry about...

Have you considered the dangers of massive, long lasting (months!) power outages due to a solar storm?

No, I haven't to be honest.

I'll just add that to my very long list of things I worry my self shitless about but can actually do nothing about.

Isn't this like in Monsters Inc where laughter proves more powerful than screams?

I was just about to post the exact same thing Tribpot! 'Boo!!'

Maureen - it's like Pixar can see the future

That is why DH is considering a generator. Although according to him we will also need barbed wire and a shotgun

I'm more worried about power outages due to useless government not building new power stations and Russia turning off the gas.

Callmeovercautious - he's probably right.

Although, as I understand the article CMOC, the generator would only last as long as the fuel - and would not help with water/sewage or food shortages in urban areas.
