Former Federal Energy Official Says April Attack On San Jose PG&E Substation Was Terrorism

SAN JOSE (CBS SF) — The former head of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission believes the attack on a PG&E substation in South San Jose last spring was not an act of vandalism, but instead a terrorist attack. In April of last year, someone shot numerous rounds that damaged equipment at the Metcalf Road substation and also severed underground fiber optic cables nearby. In an interview Wednesday in the Wall Street Journal, former FERC chief Jon Wellinghoff called the attack ”the most significant incident of domestic terrorism involving the grid that has ever occurred.” Wellinghoff told the newspaper he’s going public with his concerns because he believes national security is at risk and that thousands of electrical utility sites are poorly protected.

They’re reviewing seven years of his taxes as we speak.
