They won't put much pressure by targeting offices. Offices are full of people that these corporations have proven over and over again that they see as expendable.

If they targeted their data centers however....

Between that and oil prices going up, we are suddenly shifting our climate policy in the right direction again.

Well, blowing up a oil refinery is a climate catastrophe, with chances of acid rains

No doubt, not to mention all the spills happening from ship losses and infrastructure destruction. Its all terrible but it could still be supply restrictions that encourage people to look into other options that are less prone to attacks.

For lots of reasons, I like microgrids, their major downfall is that it requires personal/local investments/choices rather than utility scale investments. That shifts the burden of switching from the supplier to the consumer and drives up cost vs the supplier seeing the obvious benefit of being able to sell power without paying for fuel.

Yes, there are costs for solar/wind but there are also maintenance costs for fossil fuel power production as well.
