The chances of that are low...for the present. They increase over the next thousand/ten-thousand years, if I recall. Though there are some who believe some of the massive blackouts were caused by that. (I think it is just as likely that politically-motivated hackers got into the power grid regulations and overloaded it)

...The biggest risk is that when the Sun starts burning out all the Hydrogen, it will go to Helium, and at the current distance between the Earth and the Sun, the greater intensity of light will render Earth uninhabitable by complex life...then it can start expanding, possibly gobbling up Earth in the process...(But that's in a couple billion years)

Solutions:

Solar Sails - using the very solar winds you saw to push the Earth like a massive ball-like ship into a safer orbit. (We already use this to reduce fuel costs in space...just not with the Earth)

Dyson Sphere - a theoretical technological structure designed to capture and control all emissions of the Sun.
