If it wasn't reported then it never happened.
Why is this an issue almost a year latter, it sounds like another sales pitch for more Militarization of our communities.

You would think that if someone took an assault weapon and took out 17 transformers that would have been live action as it happened coverage. Those shots would have not gone unnoticed, and the guy would have stood there and emptied several magazines to have taken out 17 steel enclosed transformers.

I call bullshit on the whole thing.

Concerns about a sophisticated attack on a California power station prompted top Senate Democrats on Friday to ask officials about whether stronger federal standards are needed to protect the U.S. power grid.

The letter follows news report earlier this week about a 2013 sniper attack on the electrical substation that lasted 52 minutes and knocked out 17 transformers.

The April 16, 2013, attack on the Pacific Gas & Electric’s Metcalf transmission substation had not been widely publicized until The Wall Street Journal report Wednesday. The attack started when at least one person entered an underground vault to cut telephone cables, then attackers fired more than 100 shots, causing millions in damage.

Workers were able to avert a blackout but it took them 27 days to repair the damage.

The letter was sent to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation and was signed by Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein, Calif.; Ron Wyden, Oregon; Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada; and Al Franken, Minn.

The only people who heard about this were Senators who got a letter.

I bet THEY get a lot of letters... Don't they?

probably those dang frackers and global warming deniers again
