Another casualty of the trade wars: now we don't have transformers | Inside China Business
Damn, this seems like a huge vulnerability in the US's industrial production, communications, and computation sectors - imagine if somebody attacked the transformers of key facilities all over the country? They're usually outside and protected by a chain link fence at most. A destructive actor seeking to sabotage the operations of US industry and government could deal enormous damage with simple homemade explosives lobbed over fences at these critical points of an already vulnerable grid. Crazy to think about.

the capitalist response to climate change will be increasing stochastic terrorism against its own electrical infrastructure, thereby reducing emissions maybe
Easier to just get a carbine and take potshots at them well outside of the range of the fences and any cameras watching the permiter.
I believe the US also provided a bunch of transformers and other equipment to Ukraine that had been in reserve for weather disaster response repairs. Then that hurricane hit and demolished the appalachian region and shucks we were fresh out of transformers.
