A division of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation indicated in a recent study that physical attacks on the U.S. power grid spiked by 71% in 2022 over the previous year, reported the Wall Street Journal.
According to the grid oversight body's Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center division, vandalism, ballistic damage, and intrusion drove the increase.
NewsNation noted that Duke Energy Florida experienced several "substation intrusion events' in September. For instance, on Sept. 21, an intruder busted into the Zephyrhills North substation in Pasco County, Florida, sabotaging equipment that resulted in a nine-minute-long outage.

Good points 👍
Everyone please read "The Citizen's Guide To Fifth Generation Warfare" by General Flynn and SGT. Boone Cutler
The book will help you to make sense of what's been happening to our nation.

The book is quite eye opening.
Will anyone step to save our country? I have believed were are under attack for several years. Surely there are some patriots left in our military??
