Don't you think the darkness makes you uneasy? Have you ever seen the big ones in your fridge? All the conveniences of modern life are at your fingertips at the touch of a button or in your pocket.
Can you communicate with other countries? How much will it cost to restore power? Will there be complete anarchy?
In 2019, a massive blackout paralyzed Venezuela and plunged the South American country into chaos. His gang of armed bikers prowled the streets, cracking down on citizens at gunpoint. 4,444 hospitals went bankrupt and looted supermarkets remained empty. But what if there was a worldwide power outage and it remained off for a week? Will our global infrastructure also collapse?
The US Energy Information Administration estimates that humans consumed approximately 575 trillion BTUs of energy in 2015. With about 7.3 billion people on Earth, this is enough energy for each of us to have.
So if a geomagnetic storm were to sweep across the planet, there would undoubtedly be a massive disruption of social norms. Called the Black Sky Hazard, this event neutralizes all communication networks.
Storms caused by the ejection of coronal mass from the Sun propel electromagnetic energy to the planet at the speed of light. Excited particles in the upper atmosphere interfere with the radio signals used by satellites.
You will not be able to contact friends and relatives who live far away. Your phone may be fully charged, but you're basically holding a paperweight without an active network.
At first, you may not realize that stop is global. With no electronic distractions and a clear view of the night sky, you can enjoy the first night as well.
But it costs money. A wave of electrons and protons followed 30 minutes after the initial collision, damaging the satellite's electronics. This lethal dose of radiation can also pose a threat to astronauts in orbit and passengers on high-flying planes.
Many of our satellites require a space operator on Earth to control their course. Without someone at the helm, the satellites could collide with space debris or with each other. Hospitals, on the other hand, could face the devastating effects of a global blackout.
Energy flows generated by geomagnetic storms can cause power lines to destabilize grid operations. This massive surge could destroy transformers around the world.
Even the best backup generators only provide power for about 24 hours. As a result, intensive care units around the world will suffer enormous losses. The fan does not work.
Medical staff also had to use manual devices such as rubber lunges to keep patients alive. People who need dialysis can avoid it, and doctors have to make difficult decisions about people's lives.
And power plants all over the world will fail. Whether powered by coal, natural gas, or nuclear fission, it can take days or weeks to restore full capacity.
The reactor's cooling system fails, resulting in a complete meltdown. It could take weeks to restore Europe's vast interconnected grid that powers its 400 million customers in more than 24 countries. And that doesn't include the cost in dollars, assuming you'll still spend money when the power comes back.
When 2 million customers in California went out of power for two days, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates it cost the economy about $2.5 billion. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 33% of U.S. companies could lose $500,000 from his $20,000.
If the bank is closed, you will not be able to access the money in your account. I would appreciate it if you could leave some cash in the piggy bank. However, store inventory is limited.
And without electronic cash registers and payment systems, things quickly get ugly.
The populace becomes uneasy and may take away these necessities by force if it means keeping their families alive.
So can you drive into the woods when the roads are in chaos? The gas pump doesn't work. The traffic lights don't work and the streets can turn into a demolition derby.
But it's not just your car that's at risk. Thousands of people will be stuck in subways. If in flight, the airport has him 24 hours to land the plane before the backup generator fails.
The world's transportation industry will be paralyzed and unable to deliver needed supplies. And depending on where you live, a shortage of supplies isn't the only thing you need to worry about.
Sudden service outage. Emergency services were unable to pick up your call. People trapped in elevators could not call for help. Also, without a stove for heating, people in cold climates have to either burn wood or huddle together for warmth.
Without electricity, the water tower pump would not work. Too many regions will suffer catastrophic water shortages. Water must be carefully conserved as the amount to be dispensed in the tank is limited.
A glass of water depletes our supply. The electric sewer system could not drain the waste, so every flush could wreak havoc on the plumbing. This can result in excess trash being returned to your home. It doesn't just stink.
On the second day, fresh food in the refrigerator begins to deteriorate. And without garbage collection, these rotten items would have piled up on the streets. Without social media, and with so many of our services dependent on electricity, geomagnetic storms would be a threat to our lives. It's not just boring.
This event may seem unthinkable to you, but according to the World Bank, one billion people have no access to electricity. I live a life without Worse, hundreds of millions of people live on unreliable or expensive electricity, leaving some developing countries in the dark. To combat this, some experts are working on developing artificial intelligence that can predict power outages.
Also, much research is still needed on how to make renewable energy sources more reliable for mass consumption. But maybe you're tired of living in this modern-day nightmare and want to live off the grid completely.
