The attack by the furry little critters has begun.
Local treasure, Kyle Clark, did a bit about this:
This happens was more often that you would think.
This happened at the last utility I worked for, the poor thing used his body to complete a circuit that was supposed to be open at a substation, one main breaker and several feeders popped open which resulted in about half the feeders going down, several neighborhoods lost power. I dont remember the exact numbers but I think he was channeling about 8MW before the breakers tripped, probably the most powerful squirrel in the universe for a moment.
Hmmm. How smart are squirrels and how food motivated are they? This bears further study…
Be the squirrel you want to see in the world.
Burnt to a crisp?
Somewhere I saw an article stating Colorado power stations were victim to a suspected foreign actor attack… I wonder if it was the squirrels all along?? Lol
Good instinct, though I suspect this ridiculous story about squirrels is just covering up a laundry fire inside the substation.
Mr nutterbutter no!
When squirrels start doing what humans should…
Furry war! Shoot furries! And quadrobers too! Make substations great again. Beaver power! Bears unite!
