I’m not an expert on our power distribution system. I do believe if someone really wanted to, they could easily take out electrical substations with coordinated attack (the high voltage transformers) just outside the typical city with 50 cal rifles from a distance and effectively take out the power to a city for days if not much longer. Especially if the attacker(s) know the internal structure of the transformers and therefore where to hit it so it can’t be easily repaired.

Would it be that difficult to built a containment structure around these substations?
