Solar storm risks are being discussed in France, with a focus on the potential damage to satellites and electrical grids. The question raised is whether solar activity could end up costing consumers money through disrupted infrastructure and repair costs. NASA's work on space weather monitoring is cited in connection with the threat posed by solar flares to power networks.
Why now: Concern about solar storms hitting power grids and satellite infrastructure is drawing attention to the potential financial costs.
