NASA and Michio Kaku Warn of Killer Solar Flare in 2012

NASA study from 2009 outlined a grim possibility for a major solar storm on Earth for 2012, which will damage the power grids and other communications systems and may have catastrophic results leading to a potential loss of governmental control of the situation.

The warnings are based in part on a huge solar storm that happened in 1859 and caused telegraph wires to short out in the United States and Europe, igniting widespread fires.

The Astrophysicist Michio Kaku was interviewed by Fox News two years ago explaining that It can be possibly the worst in the past 200 years and with the advance of modern technologies, like power grids and satellites, much more is at risk.

"A contemporary repetition of the [1859] event would cause significantly more extensive (and possibly catastrophic) social and economic disruptions," he concluded. With this week unprecedented X Class Solar Flares hitting planet Earth, we might be on the verge of a potential solar attack, the one predicted by NASA in 2009.
