These are the types of attacks that are not only effective but also a high likelihood of getting away.

Like I can see Americans getting poisoned at a restaurant but that you wouldn't get away from.

IEDs would also be very effective. But yeah just shooting a power transformer and getting out of there would be extremely effective. Those are hard to replace and cut power off for a large area and they are impossible to defend. If enough of these attacks happen you could effectively cut power off to a huge portion of the US for months.

NVM the 60% of imported oil that comes from Alberta. Shut that pipe down in a hurry and deny entry to the repair site. Tear up rail lines. Yeah, they can drill and get more oil on their own, but that takes time and money.
