It’s been less than 200 years since something like this would have been noticable, and we’ve already had one huge one since. The 1859 event could wipe out the electrical grids of anything in daylight when it hits, and we already have a massive transformer shortage, and all the online ones will have exploded.
When we find out about this stuff, the first step is trying to find out how frequent it is by over viewing historical records. You start with the biggest events and then look for smaller.
So at first it’s rare, but as you expand what would be a problem and start looking deeper you almost always find it’s more frequent and not less.
Just long enough for it to happen, fuck everything up, claw our way painfully out, create a strategic transformer reserve, neglect it, cannibalise it, revise history, then have it happen again. Hey but at least private equity would get all the contracts.
Timescale.

So you’re right, but it’s by design.

I propose we name it the Desolation
