There are days when I wonder if a massive solar flare to take out all electrics like a giant EMP would be a good thing. Unfortunately, it would likely cause loss of a lot of lives too.

I understand the sentiment, but I hope that we avoid that type of scenario for some time. Not only are there people that require electricity for medical equipment, most westerners are to soft to be able to survive without electricity. It would be tough here since the temps will be dropping soon.

Not to mention all the fires it could start and bushfire season is already upon us here. Maybe just take out the internet for a bit, I say as I chat to people on Hive...
