Every large generator station has one or more large, oil filled transformers. One mortar round, or several .50 BMG rounds with tracers and you have a hell of a fire. The wait for large transformers, years, not days, not months. If a select number of big stations were attacked in this manner, we would be in the dark for a long time. Industrial users would be out of luck. The effects on the economy would be hugh, and series.

Yeah, we'd all just sit around in the dark and wait...for YEARS. Pffft. Give me an effing break.
