Single point of failure and 45k people are without power for multiple days.

Most infrastructure is fragile and is one step away from going down. It basically can’t operate without the assumption that people won’t mess it up.

Ideology driven dark ages, one has to embrace these fits of madness burning itself out.

20 years in prison for everyone responsible should quickly sort this out. This is sabotage regardless of the motive.

How will 20 year prison sentences get the power back on ("sort this out") ? Do you think 20n man-years of prisoner labor can install a new cable in the blink of an eye? Will the prisoners be forced to build a time machine so someone can go back and thwart their plans? Or how else do you envision this happening?

20 years in prison is what you get for murder and even then only when you also fail your first parole hearing.

Which is a good thing. Few people deserve that long in prison.
