wow,have I been living under a rock, this is the first time I have heard of this

SAN JOSE, Calif.—The attack began just before 1 a.m. on April 16 last year, when someone slipped into an underground vault not far from a busy freeway and cut telephone cables.

Within half an hour, snipers opened fire on a nearby electrical substation. Shooting for 19 minutes, they surgically knocked out 17 giant transformers that funnel power to Silicon Valley. A minute before a police car arrived, the shooters disappeared into the night.

It was big news a week or two ago. I used to listen to G Gordon Liddy back in the day, and he said a team with a high powered rifle could take out the power grid for half the country. Obviously, for security reasons, he never went into details.

it made the news a few days here after it happened and then fell off the map. i highly doubt it was "snipers." more likely it was a bunch of drunk 20-somethings with AR/AK rifles seeing how far they could shoot them accurately. the things i've seen people shoot at out in the desert leads me to believe this was more a case of alcohol enhanced vandalism and not terrorist target practice.
