She added a caveat that further research is needed to reveal more evidence of why these cities are considered 'supernodes.'
Geomagnetically induced currents from powerful solar storms can disrupt the digital and remote work economy.
We've outlined this in space weather notes over the years:
- Digital Economy Disruption Possible As "Terminator Event" Suggests Strongest Sunspot Cycle On Record Imminent
- The Next Big Geomagnetic Storm Poses An Astronomical Risk To Modern Man
- Solar Storms Can Devastate Entire Civilizations.
- Solar Storms Present Danger Of Blackouts For Major East Coast Cities
- In early May, one of the most powerful solar storms in years blasted Earth. Fortunately, the digital economy held up, and Starlink's massive satellite constellation also survived.

Last year, we pointed out that the current solar cycle (Solar Cycle 25) is expected to peak sometime in 2025.
Solar Cycle 25's Maximum Might Arrive Earlier And Hit Harder
And just recently revealed new data about the next solar cycle:
"First Traces" Of Solar Cycle 26 Detected On Sun
Let's remember this executive order signed by Obama in 2016...
The most powerful solar storm to rock Earth in recorded history, the Carrington Event, occurred in September 1859. It sparked fires in telegraph systems across Europe and North America.
The biggest threat to Earth is likely not the narrative radical leftist push about climate change. It's the sun and how one powerful solar storm can take down grids worldwide.
