Before you anyone posts that this Air Products attack was in France, which is true, there have also been terror attacks in the US as the article mentions. We are very vulnerable because our infrastructure was never planned to be protected against depraved madmen. Now the US is storing spent fuel on site in dry storage, in my opinion a disaster waiting to happen I am just glad it hasn't happened already.

A suspected Islamic State-inspired attack on a gas factory in France on Friday heightens concerns that U.S. energy infrastructure may be targeted.

U.S. company Air Products, which has major operations in the Washington-Baltimore area as well as around the world, was attacked by terrorists. The company issued a worldwide security alert following the attack, establishing defensive measures at its gas product facilities around the globe, including the United States.

"Security has been increased at Air Products' locations around the world as a precautionary measure," Air Products said from its headquarters in Lehigh Valley, Pa.

We should simply issue a general statement that any attack upon our energy infrastructure will result in a nuclear response against the country of origin.
