It is clear to me that geomagthrowaway has some real technical expertise on solar storms and GIC.

For those of you who want to dig deep into the truth of solar storm (GMD) vulnerability of the North American electric grid, take a few minutes to read the first part of our comment to FERC during the docket process for NERC standard setting. And then say what you think on the thread.

FERC directed the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) to set a reliability standard for solar storms. Under that standard, not a single high voltage transformer in the U.S. electric grid is required under the standard to have hardware protection. Instead, paper studies exempt utilities from taking tangible action. As of May 2020, only one device to block harmful currents from solar storms has been installed in all of the U.S. electric grid. Fairly stated, FERC ignored my testimony and that of other experts.

Please read my 2016 testimony to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on the threat of solar storms:
