However, what I do know is that a source of mine in the nuclear power industry was told late last year (by officials) to prepare for just that, as power grids worldwide are expected to fail in 2012 or 2013 according to some reports…

An excerpt from the Baltimore Sun reads;

For all of you looking for another worldwide catastrophe story, this article is not for you.  Solar radiation causing problems is definitely nothing new, and the amount of times this occurs will always fluctuate with time.  Remember that this is and will always be a problem as long as one is within a reasonable distance with the sun, and has any sort of electronic device.
