   We have looked at this over the years on AGW.   
   It turns out neither network outages nor power fails seem to   
   increase at times of large electron, proton, nor geomagnetic events.   
   If anything, the relevant companies are well aware of the relevant   
   alerts and the number of outages actually goes DOWN during those times.   
      
   So at best you are squeaking about a non problem that everyone handles   
   except the people that write headlines in the popular press.
