The Sun rarely produced extreme solar particle events, orders of magnitude stronger than everything directly observed. Their enormous power can greatly distort the production of cosmogenic isotopes, e.g., radiocarbon (14C), in the terrestrial system, leaving clear signatures in natural terrestrial archives including dateable tree rings. Eight such events were known to occur during the past
“That effectively means there is a built-in way to physically destroy the grid.” Chinese-made renewable energy infrastructure may be posing security risks after unexplained communication equipment was found inside some of solar panel inverters, Reuters reports. The outlet says that two people familiar with the matter say that US energy officials are now reassessing where
