In a sane country, this commando-style electrical station attack would be leading the news.
In my opinion, this was a “probe” or a test.
But we are no longer a sane country, not when, for example, a homosexual football player is the lead story.

Did it interfere with American Idol or The Game?
Then who cares?
All you would need is a bullet proof wall around the transformers. Not that complicated, but power companies are as lethargic as the government.
You don’t need to attack the stations.
A reasonably-skilled person with a rifle can take-out the insulators on long-distance high-voltage transmission lines “from afar”.
There are a lot of power generation, power distribution, and transportation targets if someone wanted to exploit them.
With your talent as a fiction author, I am sure you have imagined some of them.
I see a lot of things in the news that make me wonder...
Just another reason I prepare. Zero is letting in anti-American terrorists.
Well that AND something to shield from EMP strikes!
vandalism my arse
that’s clearly a probe in preparation for the real thing
Part of the plan to transform America as we knew it.
The shutting of coal plants is also right on schedule.
They’re already here!
UP...
We are required, by law, to have health insurance. But the power companies are not required, by law, to protect the power grid. GOOD ONE
More importantly, did it interfere with BOB's golf game? Or his hoops games? Or party night with Moochele and the kiddies??
If not, "what difference does it make?"
“...“from afar”....”
IMHO, the reason they didn’t do it from afar is because it was like saying “We are in your face, and you can’t do a damned thing about it... and your boy in DC won’t, either.”
It’s them being snotty and arrogant and sending a message.
On how many thousands of sub-stations?
At how many billions of dollars?
All of which you will pay for...
The tactical and strategic possibilities regarding this kind of this action were discussed long ago in Total Resistance, the Swiss guide to living under and resisting invaders.
Great recent discussion here as well.

That book was actually a textbook for the “Unconventional Warfare” class the Political Science department taught where I went to college.
I didn’t take the class, but I did buy the book.
Bioterrorism with the "racoon roundworm" eggs.
Avian flu weaponized
Iraqi blackpox release
A hundred Al Queda in 50-100 truck bombs blowing railroad bridges across the Mississippi River.
A hundred Al-Queda, 2 man teams in each state, going through the mall and shooting at Christmastime.
Al queda with a half dozen MANPADS at regional airports during Thanksgiving/XMAS (this has become a VERY real threat after Benghazi-its only a matter of time we lose a domestic flight to a MANPAD in CONUS).
and of course....attacks on our electrial grids.
Be prepared. Pinging Kart.
