To avert a black-out, energy grid officials had to reroute power from nearby Silicon Valley-based power plants.[2][10] While some nearby neighborhoods temporarily lost power, “the big users weren’t even aware Metcalf had happened”, according to an expert from the Electric Power Research Institute.[1]
On the morning of April 16, 2013, a team of gunmen, using rifles, opened fire on the Metcalf Transmission Substation, severely damaging 17 transformers.[4][5][6]
Henry Waxman, a ranking member of the United States House Committee on Energy and Commerce, stated that the attack was “an unprecedented and sophisticated attack on an electric grid substation with military-style weapons. Communications were disrupted. The attack inflicted substantial damage. It took weeks to replace the damaged parts. Under slightly different conditions, there could have been serious power outages or worse.”[8]
White conservative men are the most oppressed group in American, it is known. But fear not, someday if we all work really hard and make lots and lots of sacrifices, a white man in America will catch a break. I have a dream.
White people have to pay for expensive homes, cars, and schools for their kids. Whereas black people only have to pay for cheap homes, cars, and schools. Also, nobody has called black people racist for saying bad things about black people, but white people get called racist all the time for saying bad things about black people.
