Have they arrested and pressed charges on the officer that cold blooded murdered Ashli Babbitt yet? Oh, that’s right, they made him a captain now. So if you want to look for a suspect in the transformer shootings just look for any recent promotions on the government register.  

Clown world all around.

You have plenty of access to the required power for welding. A few kV will get it welded up in a snap. Mind the arc flash!

I made it from some scrap tubing, hence the weird sizes.

Now you have an excuse to buy a cheapo MIG box.

You guys are concerned about substations while there are thousands of miles of high voltage transmission line across some very remote terrain. You do remember the TVA blackout that knocked out the NE was caused by a tree limb on a 345kv line.

The wrong narrowback , with a bad lineman could cause you more grief than you could imagine. Assuming you had enough Blue and Green crayons to feed the lineman. You might as well feed them the crayons, they would steal them or break them anyway.  Sub guys only come from the greatest moral values known to man.
Our old relay engineer could turn the power off on the moon if he wanted to. At the rate they are shutting down the Coal and Nuke plants, keeping the grid up isn’t going to be the problem.
