Lockheed Martin has released new research which revealed about 4% of power disruptions from 1992 to 2010 were correlated with the heightened solar activity (CME activity).

BREAKING NEWS: RETHINKING BUSINESS COMMUNICATIONS BLOG TURNED ONE YEAROLD ON MARCH 24TH! A year ago, I ventured into the terribly exciting, (but intimidating), world of the blogosphere.
