Samuel Feinberg (Helena) gives a talk at Baylor in Sept 2017, on the threat to the power grids from both massive solar storms and enemey EMP attacks. We dodged a bullet with a solar storm in July 2012. He says some billions of dollars could protect the recoverability of the grid. I wonder what he would say about the Texas grid failure in Feb. 2021 under a winter polar vortex.
Opening line, "WE are terrible at listening to warnings about disaster." Since then, COVID and Putin's nuclear threats over Ukraine as he is pushed into a corner.
Taylor Wilson has recommended underground nuclear power plants, decentralized (2013).
