New York and Washington DC could be hit by devastating blackouts during a solar storm because of energy-reflecting ancient rocks beneath the cities, scientists warn
Rather than absorbing energy beamed down from the sun during intense periods of solar activity, the Paleozoic-era rock under the highway is likely to bounce it back at the earth, potentially resulting in a bump in the grid that could blow transformers.

New York and Washington DC could be hit by devastating blackouts during a solar storm because of energy-reflecting ancient rocks beneath the cities, scientists warn
- Rocks running roughly along the path of Interstate 95 pose risk to power supply
- Known as insulators as they reflect the sun's energy rather than absorbing it
- Could cause problems in solar storm - when the sun gives off a burst of energy
- Energy reflected from the rocks could bump the electricity grid and overload it
