Doing this would almost certainly lead to power outages and fires, especially trying to do a DIY version of it. And as always, without a well-organized network of workers to take advantage of whatever damage is caused, this won’t do anything except turn people against you and likely get you arrested.

I think the implication in the video is that whoever’s deploying this is choosing between the graphite, which keeps the majority of the infrastructure intact, and a more traditional bomb which would absolutely destroy it and have a higher change of killing civilians. But as we saw in Texas, US infrastructure is so shitty that even short lived outages will cause deaths
