I happen to know quite a bit about protecting the grid from solar flares and I was closely monitoring the event in May. I hate to be that guy but your guest is missed a lot things concerning the electrical grid. After the Quebec blackout in 1989 grid operators have greatly improved their ability monitor and mitigate geomagnetic disturbances. Once a flare is detected, grid operators have like 6-10 hours to prepare for the plasma to hit us so they have time to disconnect / protect vulnetable equipment. If a really, really bad one hits us, power restoration will be on the order of days, not months or years, sorry!
