Is het mogelijk dat de stroomstoringen in Nederland en Amerika, en waarschijnlijk ook andere plekken van de wereld dat niet uitgebreid in het nieuws is geweest, de oorzaak is van de hoge zonneactiviteit?
The March 24, 1940 storm caused a temporary disruption of electrical service in New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Quebec and Ontario. A storm on February 9-10, 1958 caused a power transformer failure at the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority. On August 2, 1972, the Bureau of Reclamation power station in Watertown, South Dakota was subjected to large swings in power line voltages up to 25,000 volts. Similar voltage swings were reported by Wisconsin Power and Light, Madison Gas and Electric, and Wisconsin Public Service Corporation. A 230,000-volt transformer at the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority exploded, and Manitoba Hydro in Canada recorded power drops from 164 to 44 megawatts in a matter of a few minutes, in the power it was supplying to Minnesota.

Volgens www.spaceweather.com is er een X-Class Solar Flare ontstaan; wellicht is dit de oorzaak voor de power disruptions. De verklaring van Essent, dat een kat de oorzaak van de storingen in Nederland zou zijn is zeer dubieus. Want Groningen had er ook last van, terwijl dit niet in verband staat met Eindhoven diezelfde dag.
