"“Protecting critical infrastructure like our power system must be a top priority. This kind of attack raises a new level of threat,” Cooper said during a press conference Monday afternoon."

Brother I don't know how to break it to you, but we've had guns and unsecured transformers for like 100 years. The fact that it actually *happened* doesn't make it a new level of threat. We were skating by on the thinnest veneer of civilization the whole entire time.

@rossgrady You don't even need guns: if you can ram the gate (or if there's no gate), you can punch a hole from up close (though hot oil would immediately start coming out, so this might be easiest to do with a gun) or you can pump salty water in via the vent piping (unless those transformers use a membrane to allow for oil's expansion instead being open to air).
