In the first hour, engineer and author Mat Stein discussed solar flares,
EMPs, and the plausibility of the new TV show Revolution. Based on his
research, "extreme geomagnetic storms" appear to hit the Earth every 75
to 90 years and that the planet is overdue for the next blast. "It could
be anywhere from the end of the world as we know it," he said, "to the
end of human life and mammalian life on the planet." On that note, he
was deeply worried about the fate of the planet's nuclear power plants,
which are ill equiped for long term power outages. Stein decried the
lack of preparation for a solar storm by the American government and
power industry, which has the means to safeguard against such an event,
but refuses to spend the money on the necessary technology.
