[quote:Anonymous Coward 865798:MV8xMTU3ODkyXzE4NjY2NzI0XzlFOEMzMTEw] There is a MASS amount of information coming out in the form of 'reports' showing the 'international' problems that arise from Space Weather...this is all relatively new reports too... [/quote]

Hmmmmm.....a lot of oil pipeline problems lately...
Space Weather and Geomagnetically Induced Currents
Space weather generates Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) that affect electrical systems on the earth's surface, including power and power transformer systems.
Where the land is resistant, oil and gas pipelines form a system of long conductors that allow electrical currents to flow more easily. With the accumulative action of many magnetic disturbances pipeline corrosion is significantly accelerated.
The massive oil spillage that took place in Alaska, March 2006 could have been caused by Space Weather. Click on the image of the BP oil pipeline in Alaska to obtain general information on the ground effects of space weather.
