Climate Activist Plots Grid Sabotage | Amsterdam News
A climate activist named Daniel plotted 160 sabotage attacks on power grids across Germany and the Netherlands, targeting critical substations that could have plunged hundreds of thousands into darkness. Arrested near a power plant outside Cologne, he was found with explosives and had been living off-grid in a tent rigged with bombs. Motivated by his belief that fossil fuel electricity is a crime and frustrated with “climate failures,” he even targeted German arms industry infrastructure. Power company TenneT, working with intelligence, claims backups prevented a total blackout—but the fact he executed multiple attacks before capture reveals how extreme some are willing to go when they feel ignored.
