Given that a lot of modern electronics are shielded as a matter of regulation and operational necessity, a solar event strong enough to fry all of our electronics would also kill a lot of people directly. It would be an Armageddon-level event.
People can’t start engines.
An event strong enough to disable an ICE vehicle's ignition system will likely have killed anyone who could have used the vehicle.
We can’t pump water.
Most water pumps generally operate on gasoline or other fuel. Electric-powered water pumps is a very recent development.
I mean we got a bad flu and people lost their shit looting toilet paper. Imagine what happens when there’s no power.
Parts of California and most of Texas experience that every year... Most people in India experience multiple power outages each day. No mass looting yet...
