The FBI has joined a criminal investigation of what police said appears to be an "intentional attack" on gas service lines in Aspen, Colorado, that left thousands of residents and businesses without heat as temperatures in the skiing mecca plunged to near zero degrees. Work crews are scrambling to restore gas service, and local authorities handed out electric space heaters to residents still without heat Tuesday, as a storm is forecast to bring up to 8 inches of snow in the Rocky Mountains region this week. Temperatures are forecast to fall to 2 degrees in Aspen on Tuesday night, according to the National Weather Service. Aspen police said the apparently coordinated acts of vandalism occurred Saturday night at three separate Black Hills Energy gas line sites, one in Aspen and two elsewhere in Pitkin County.

I good precursor to things to come!
Thought libs hated fossil fuel??
Democratic operatives.
That’s my worry. I can source water and have a decent amount of food. I don’t have a fireplace and probably only have enough propane for a couple days.
Flip side, we have lots of winter camping gear
Evil fossil fuels are not evil when used by and for elite use.
“Enviro terrorists at work?”

Yep... with a near certainty.
Trumper’s most likely.....sarc/on
Earth First burned a lodge about Vail years ago. Got caught I believe. I wonder how they defeated the security cameras. Oh I know, they wore masks.
Windmills will work.
In case you missed this part. There are 3500 customers. They have to go around and turn every meter off, then restart gas service, then turn meters on and check all pilots. Going to be a cold few days.
guess I listened to my dad as I echo his thoughts on this.
Aspen is ‘elite’ central I thought. Why would they want to impact a group of tree-hugging like-thinkers?
When this sort of targeted infrastructure vandalism happens in Chicago, disgruntled union workers are always the prime suspects.
There’s lots of weirdos and freaks up in them thar hills.
Hippy central.
Now that the FBI is on it, we can expect the law to really come down on these terrorists, just like the FBI came down on the Biden crime family or election fraudsters, or how the U.S. has really come down hard on the ChiComs for their bioterrorist attack on the U.S. and the world.
Jussie Smollett coulda fought them off with a Subway tuna sandwich!
“...only have enough propane for a couple days.”
Not sure what your set up is but if you have Buddy Heaters or other propane canister fueled catalytic heaters you can get adapters to fit to the five gallon propane tanks.
Isn’t that where the rich and famous reside? I smell antifa and the greenies!
“Aspen is ‘elite’ central I thought. Why would they want to impact a group of tree-hugging like-thinkers?”
For the same reason they burned a lodge above Vail. Coverage, publicity.
Nobody cares that much if you burn an old barn, maybe not even the barn owner.
