Many people believe the United States should invest in hardening the electrical grid to protect it from solar storms. However, how much money should be invested to do so over the next 10 years? Should that amount be a billion dollars, a trillion dollars, or some other amount? What is the justification for doing so?

In your post you should include the following:

  • A statement about how many dollars should be invested in hardening the electrical grid from disruptions from solar storms over the next 10 years
  • A justification for the investment (or lack of investment)
  • A reference to an outside source that supports either your cost estimate or your justification.
