Climate Activist Plots Grid Sabotage | Amsterdam News

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.
