stock here: The title teases about "the motive", and that is buried deep in the article. I call bullshit.
Multiple people coordinating to take down a power station to "commit a burglary".
How absurd is that? Some sheep will eat it up.

After being advised of his Miranda rights, Greenwood stated that he and Crahan "have been planning to disrupt power to commit a burglary," FBI Special Agent Mark Tucher wrote in a probable cause summary. Crahan allegedly drove them both to the first three facilities, acting as the getaway driver while Greenwood entered the substations using bolt cutters provided by Crahan.

Ya right......but business is not named. It is all theater, Check this out.
Crahan allegedly entered the fourth substation. While the power was out,
after the Graham and South Hill attacks, the two went to a local
business, where Crahan drilled out a lock, and Greenwood entered to
steal from the cash register, Tucher said. The complaint does not name
that business.
--------------------
stock here --- there is something of value in this article, the fact that very little "backup parts" are available anywhere for the grid. In an EMP or CME our world would not even have the power to rebuild the power grid.
The damage on those two substations, both operated by Tacoma Power, was estimated at $3 million and caused outages for 7,500 customers. The complaint notes damage to both "de-energizer taps" for each impacted transformer requires replacement, resulting in up to 36 months' repair time.
Looks pretty primitive for protection.
