I was watching Discovery last night and there was a documentary called "Perfect disaster" which talked about what would happen if a mega solar storm hit the earth one day. It said that one of the major effects would be a world wide blackout that could last for months or even years. What would happen to people without the electricity and technology they depend on so much? It wouldn't be the end of the world but it would surely be hell. They estimate that such a disaster can occur in 2011 or 2012 so you could say that something is going to happen sooner or later.
