Intensely High Solar Activity + Huge Hole in Magnetic Shield + Mayan Prophecy = End of the World as we know it.

The money quote:

Wired.com: Do you live your life differently now?

Joseph: I’ve been following this topic for almost five years. It wasn’t until the report came out that it began to freak me out.

To boil it down, solar activity will short out the electric grid, causing $2 Trillion in damages in 1 year and taking 4-10 years to recover.

You see, we’ve been unwittingly building a giant geomagnetic antenna in our power grid, and that will make things worse.

It won’t be too bad. I mean, it’s not like we use electricity for too much, right?
