Dr Doom has been promoting the idea of the "kill shot" for a number of years now.  Saying the world is on the brink of receiving the effects of a major solar flare that will throw us back into the dark ages by taking out the power grid and making modern electronic devices useless. 

One of these years he could well be correct.

The only people in the world, it seems, who believe in conspiracy theory, are those of us that have studied it.    Pat Shannon

It really is not that long ago that there was a major one that would have devastating effects.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_storm_of_1859

Solar storm of 1859


The Solar storm of 1859—known as the Carrington Event[1]—was a powerful geomagnetic solar storm during solar cycle 10 (1855–1867). A solar coronal mass ejection hit Earth's magnetosphere and induced one of the largest geomagnetic storms on record, September 1–2, 1859. The associated "white light flare" in the solar photosphere was observed and recorded by English astronomers Richard C. Carrington (1826–1875) and Richard Hodgson (1804–1872).

Studies have shown that a solar storm of this magnitude occurring today would likely cause more widespread problems for a modern and technology-dependent society.[2][3] The solar storm of 2012 was of similar magnitude, but it passed Earth's orbit without striking the planet.
