Unfortunately it won't do what we need done. Most stuff has been hardened over the last century.
Trump was the one that began hardening key electronic infrastructure during his first term .... he even cited the Carrington Event and high altitude nukes/EMPs as the reason to do so.
But, harden as we may, most agree that first strikes are going to be EMP strikes in order to leave conquered infrastructure uncontaminated.
Our biggest weakness and vulnerabilities, right now are the hacking of power and water plants, fuel distribution centers, key server farms, etc. But a string enough solar flare or EMP would still do major damage.

Transformers might need repairing. Mobile phones, tablets, etc. are safe. Home pcs are at risk because they're connected to wall sockets.
The biggest deal would be cell towers. As long as people can connect to their internet they won't panic.

far as a coronal mass ejection, it happens almost everyday from the Sun. But in order to effect the earth it has to meet the following main criteria: 1. Mass - how big is the coronal mass ejection. 2. Direction- is it pointed toward us.
These have been hyped several times in past few years and as far as I know never damaged electronics

I THINK the issue is, and I stress think bc I really don't for sure about this, is that we haven't had anything anywhere near the Carrington event since it happened.....and an event could be a whole lot worse than the Carrington event
We really have no way at all of forecasting them more than 1-2 days out and even then it's very hard to project how severe until it happens. One of those things where it could happen tomorrow or not for a million years

That Graham Hancock character was really excited about one coinciding with the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012. He was very disappointed.

I'll worry about this after the offensive line is fixed.
