We know it is only a matter of time until ISIS, or ISIL, whichever way you want to call them, will have some success in attacking the USA on our own soil. I do not know how much validity there is in the following, we can all do the research.

This is another reason I want a solar electric system NOT dependent on the grid.
I've been following this discussion on another forum. I will try and add some links they had about it. I don't recall seeing the one you posted.
I think we have already had some probing attacks. There was one story I remember about a sub station getting shot up and knocked out. I want to think that was in Cali maybe a year or so back. Never heard any more once it came out.

A couple of well placed booms at a couple of key nuc-sites, and we could all be in a world of hurt!

Here are a couple of links.

There was a University in the Rocky mountains which got a briefing by the FBI regarding cyber attacks. They told the university to report any attacks which were attempted. The University asked them when should they report them. They were told right away. They asked the FBI if they only wanted to be contacted during business hours or at all hours. They were told all hours. Then they asked it they could just report each day the total number of attacks. The FBI was perplexed and asked if some times they had multiple attacks in a day. School told them on any given day they had upward to 100 attempts on their systems.
Everyday there are hundreds if not thousands of attacks on the United States from internal and external entities from all over the world. The old saying is it is not if but when. There was also a water agency on the east coast which had their system changed by Chinese hackers. So stand by for whatever happens next.

So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.
308 to the lower section of a substation x former and the coolant will leak out, before its all out there will be a pretty show.
Possibly 3006 but I can promise a 50 will get in. No need to hit the internals, just let the oil out and it will be
a catastrophic failure.
The little round pole mounts will go down with an AK or AR round. Drive down the road and zap them as you drive and you

Those are the easy things to replace. It is the transformers which are harder to replace. The thing about the hackers is if they can get in they can control a much larger area. When it comes to electricity when one goes down other neighboring systems will kick in to pick up the slack. When there is a large failure the neighboring systems may fail causing a domino effects.

EB's scenario is what happened in the story I recall from a couple years back.
If you recall a few years ago when a large part of the east, including parts of Canada went dark , there was only a few key location that went down. It shut down a huge area of both countries. The Way stuff is tied together IMO makes it easier for a overall collaspe.

One reason I am glad Texas has it's own grid, not tied to other states. I believe it is the only state that is this way.
