   Attacks on the US power grid — a preferred method of attack among extremists, particularly accelerationists — have surged to a decade-high peak this year, with more than 100 attacks reported in the first 8 months of 2022. So that’s not even including the recent spate of attacks in NC, SC, FL, GA, WA, & OR.

   These kinds of attacks are seen by extremists as a crucial step towards inciting a race war.
