Just don't tell folks how to take down a critical infrastructure component on this forum.

This is the place I bought my first rifle from when I was of age to do so myself.

But what if you have to unplug the coffee maker to move it?.....

North Carolina electric grid shooter 'knew exactly what they were doing,' sheriff says

The orchestrator of gunfire attacks on power stations in North Carolina that left nearly an entire county without electricity for a second straight day knew "exactly" how to disable the stations, sheriff Ronnie Fields said on Monday.

Ed's Gun Shop in Vass, NC was probably the safest place in the state during this. I have a friend that works there.

Word on the street is that Duke Power had fired an employee and this employee had the knowledge to inflict a lot of damage. He showed just how vulnerable we are.

The timing of this and the drag show was coincidental but, gave the media cause to give it even more publicity.

A mobile substation was brought in today according to some locals. View attachment 359659

That is a mobile transformer. Very limited in availability. Has to match fairly closely the original. Expensive.

Not at all. My observation was a jumping off point, in my mind, to think about the expense of physical security.

If someone dedicated to committing an act of terrorism is always going to be able to find a soft target, what's the point of engaging in massively expensive hardening efforts around things like the power grid? Sure, we should protect certain obviously assets. For example, the President should always have his very expensive security (though it's debatable if the current job holder can be classified as an "obvious asset"). But billions of dollars in infrastructure upgrades? I tend to wonder if the ROI would be positive.

I freely admit I don't know but I think it's worth talking about.

Practically, we cannot protect the entire grid.

But some elements of the grid can cause much longer term downtimes. We probably should consider hardening critical substations, yet if anyone is determined they will still find a way.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the FBI or some liberals. They tend to do shit and blame others i.e Juicy Mullett, LeBron James tagging his home, etc
