(NaturalNews) Tens of millions of Americans face years of loss of electrical power if major solar storms ramp up in the future, sending electromagnetic pulses that will destroy grids and infrastructure, according to an internal two-year-old Department of Homeland Security document.
As reported by the Washington Free Beacon, DHS’ Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, said in a 2012 fact sheet detailing its potential responses to severe “space weather” that it is simply impossible to know the full extent of such events.
Space weather analysis paints bleak picture
“An analysis of the space weather impacts indicates that the greatest challenge will be to provide lifesaving and life-sustaining resources for large numbers of people that experience long-term power outage from damage to the U.S. electrical grid,” the March 1, 2012, FEMA document says.
