In December 2022, an intentional attack on the electrical grid in Moore County, North Carolina, caused a widespread blackout that lasted for five days. The attack, which involved high-powered firearms at two electrical substations, resulted in significant disruptions to daily life, including school closures and the death of an elderly woman who relied on an oxygen machine. Despite a state of emergency being declared and a reward offered for information leading to an arrest, no suspects have been named and there have been no arrests. The incident occurred in the context of a debate surrounding a drag show in the area, which faced opposition and threats from anti-LGBTQ groups. The attack on the grid is part of a larger trend of white supremacist groups advocating for attacks on critical infrastructure. [Extracted from the article]
