As a string of attacks on electrical substations unfolded in Oregon and Washington in 2022, the FBI was warning utilities of white supremacists’ plots to take down the nation’s power grid. An investigation by OPB and Washington public media station KUOW reveals the scope of the threat to the Northwest grid.

    "Domestic violence extremists" call them fucking terrorists you absolutely useless cowards

      They have to use weird language like that for the same reason they use the term "allegedly" - because "terrorism" is a specific crime, and IIRC there are weird legal rules around why it can't be applied to domestic orgs.

    If any of my fish die because some chuds decided to do a terrorism, I swear I'll go full Keanu Reeves in that movie with the dog that I didn't see.

    Is there a portable generator that someone can recommend? Should be able to help some medical equipment stay operable as well as other basic home living things in an apartment. Budget would be about $400

      Buy a mini chest freezer for $100-200- even if you live in an apartment. They can be run indefinitely off a generator or for days on a battery pack. The smallest ones run 35 watts of power.

      Go dual fuel if you want to be able to burn propane/diesel. The WEN DF475T $379 looks decent enough on Amazon. You'll want a carbon monoxide detector with a 10 year battery as well. Make sure you have CO detectors running even if it is outside. Some folks put it under windows and die that way.

    FBI / NSA just jacking it the whole time, doing nothing to meaningfully prevent it :sicko-pig:

    What's the goal though?

    edit: OH! oh..... Taking out the nations power grid would kill way more people than they could ever hope to kill in person.
