Can you explain the chain idea? I'm at the airport, and that link is blocked. Maybe this isn't the right time for me to be in this thread.

This means that lots of things at the substation will have to be replaced before it can be put back into action. A few well placed attacks like that and you can easily take out an entire city's power or more.
