We have no extra in our power grid. And extra is what you need during harsh times.

No power plant wants to sit their idle. It is losing money idling. It costs a lot to shut down, and then to restart (both in time and engineer hours). So, it sits their idling. Losing money…

So, when Texas lost its wind power, there wasn't enough other power to make up for it.
There should be, but it not economically viable. No one wants to pay for it.

And just wait for the rivers of Canada to freeze. No power for so many people.

There is no extra

We do not have any resilience in our power grid. We have hundred year old transformers, that can't be replaced. Lightening or terror type people OR those MOTHER WEFers decide to turn it off (and say, an EMP hit us) could fry it.

Our grid has so many attack points. It has so many points of failure. Imho it is just a matter of time.

Power of the future will be local community sized.
Where, if you lose power, you just go to the next community over, while it gets fixed.
