No please! Electric substations are necessary to transmit power, and we actually need more of them if we’re going to build the amount of renewables we need.
If you’re looking for parts of the electrical system that I feel less positively about, that would include data centers (especially for AI and crypto mining) and coal-fired power plants.
Of course, industrial sabotage is a crime, and with all the high voltage and current going around, it’s a particularly dangerous one at that. Would not recommend
Datacenters aren't the issue, like it or not they're required for modern society. The issue is data centers powered by unclean power sources.
So what you're saying is we destroy the unclean power sources
Unfortunately, poor people are also supported by those same unclean power sources.
What you want to do is first add new, clean power sources.
I know it's less fun to fight the revolution by building things, but in the long term it's more effective than smashing things.
