"Officials have stopped short of calling it an act of terrorism, presumably because we don’t know the motive of whoever perpetrated the act"

There was another one elsewhere [Washington state [1]] and they found out the perps did it to facilitate knocking over some business of some sort. So, just because it quacks like a duck does not mean it either walks like a duck nor end ends up being a duck.

There have also been attacks in Utah by so called environmentalists[2] in an attempt to blunt or "protest" the use of fossil fuels in producing electricity.

But, you know, people like narratives which match their ideology a whole lot.
