Conspiracy Theorist User ID: 18373227 United States 07/31/2012 05:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wait why in the hell are they without power anyway.. that is somewhat frightening.. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2119116 Because they drank the global warming kool-aid and have been systematically taking there coal fired power plants offline over the past several years. At the same time, they have not built any other new power generation facilities be it nuclear, solar, whatever. There ya go. The greenie weenies should be rejoicing. This is how they want all of us to live. In the stone age. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20657066 [link to www.ndtv.com] True to an extent. The looting sprees have gone up and the numbers are on the rise every year since Katrina. Last year, in my neck of the woods, the cops had a tough time maintaining calm and order after the chaos left behind by the October snow storm. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 20617767 United States 07/31/2012 06:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think this might have to do with the high number of c and m flares we have accumulated in the last week. Not to mention the lengthy stay of elevated proton charts. Add record temperatures, and you have the recipe for weak grids like India's and Pakistan's tripping up. Quoting: )(~0~)(o~o)(~0~)( 19713099 This high level of solar activity caused a tremendous power surge last year. As a number of m and x flares occurred within two weeks, it triggered San Diego's power outage. If you look at the data from last year's blackout, you will see that the flares were sort of "pulsing", occurring every afternoon in California time. This could be the case in India. We have the high solar activity. It would be interesting to see when all the big flares hit (afternoons in India?) [link to en.wikipedia.org] By the way, the official cause of last year's blackout was 1 maintenance worker cutting the wrong wire. Think about that, one guy can cut a wire and blackout 8 million. ;) People look for the knockout, the big one, but sometimes it is the accumulation of energy on a system which causes its demise. WHAT HIGH NUMBER, these are all dinky and if that was cause, the globe would be having a lot of problems. The sun has been FAR MORE ACTIVE in the previous cycle than this one. It is NOT the cause. |
