"Mistakenly" unsealed affidavits disclose FBI investigating plot against grid
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The FBI is investigating three alleged white supremacists linked with a plot to attack power stations in the southeastern U.S., causing millions of dollars worth of damage, according to an affidavit that was mistakenly unsealed last week.

An Ohio teenager, a man from Wisconsin and a Texas native who was then a Purdue University student are named in the document that was filed under seal along with a search warrant application in Wisconsin's Eastern U.S. District Court in March.

No charges have yet been filed against the men and the document has now been resealed as the investigation continues, the Associated Press reported.
The possibility of a few riflemen inflicting massive damage on the power grid has been known for a long time, as evidenced by the 2013 "Metcalf attack". There has been little done to safeguard against this, along with the related vulnerability of lack of backup transformers and domestic production of same. Even Mylar balloons bought at the local dollar store can wreak great damage.
