"Therefore, the Solar Cycle 24 Prediction Panel’s forecast is being used by various industry and government groups for planning purposes, including power companies, communication networks, satellite manufacturers/operators and airline flight planners. Unfortunately, the nation’s (and the world’s) vulnerability to solar storms will only increase as we become even more dependent on these technologies. "

I'm going to have a lot of lobbying to do.

I just found a NASA story about solar flares interrupting GPS signals. Put up a link on my blog.
