Power supply: Repeatedly substations: What's going on?

There have been several recent incidents of suspected sabotage at power grid substations in Germany. In Dormagen, a suspicious object was found near a substation, and police are investigating a possible sabotage attempt. A man from Gevelsberg has claimed responsibility for recent attacks on the power grid in letters, criticizing the fossil fuel industry and the arms industry.

The police are searching for the 48-year-old man and are considering the possibility that he may have acted alone or as part of a group. The incidents have raised concerns about the security of the power grid, with authorities emphasizing the need for crisis preparedness and rapid response to minimize damage.
