Yo Banzai, I got a request if you feel like doing it
We are in the midst of a large Solar CME, one of these one day will wipe out the power grids.
A bit o visual combat would bring this point home...a picture of the earth hurtling through space, with 400 nuke plants strapped to it like a suicide bombers vest....
--------------------------------------------
Some people who are well heeled in the "prepping" department have suggested that a grid wipeout could be a good thing a "cleansing" process, taking out 90% of humanity or more, and allow some healing time for the earth.
However, since the earth has been unwillingly strapped up like a suicide bomber with 400 nuclear plants, that cleansing process would not turn out so well.
So here we sit, strapped up like a suicide bomber, hoping the Sun launched CMEs are not "big enough" this time. Some day they will be big enough.

“Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions. To have such clarity you must lead a disciplined life. Only then will you know that any path is only a path and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you to do. But your decision to keep on the path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition. I warn you. Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary.
This question is one that only a very old man asks. Does this path have a heart? All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. They are paths going through the bush, or into the bush. In my own life I could say I have traversed long long paths, but I am not anywhere. Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you.
Before you embark on any path ask the question: Does this path have a heart? If the answer is no, you will know it, and then you must choose another path. The trouble is nobody asks the question; and when a man finally realizes that he has taken a path without a heart, the path is ready to kill him. At that point very few men can stop to deliberate, and leave the path. A path without a heart is never enjoyable. You have to work hard even to take it. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy; it does not make you work at liking it.”

One can follow others' opinions or follow the money - the wisdumb is in knowing the difference. Pick your poison.
ah, what is the sound of one hand printing money?

OH that is some great starting graphics for my visual combat....
Your picture show earth almost as a living thing, now just strap 400 doomsday machines to it, make my day!
This is great for the average person with attention span less than that of a goldfish.

....and I chose the path less followed and discovered there was a reason for that when I reached a dead end....
you are fortunate to have reached
the end of the path and survived.
i count such things as blessings.
