People are digging on power companies, but this is likely the future of America- and Texas will be on the leading edge. For power generation, infrastructure is the BIGGEST cost. All of the power lines and generators are sized for the single hottest day of the year. So companies pay big bucks for big power lines and generators that are under used 95% of the time. And "peak heat" only lasts for a couple of hours. There are 2 solutions to mitigate this: 1) Solar. Local solar panels can take the edge off of "your house needing power from the grid" - and this helps everyone 2) PRE COOLING houses. Our houses can act as storage. At 3:00 pm, 50% of the houses cool down 3 degrees. At 6:00 pm their AC turns off, and the other houses turn their AC on. Thus distributing the load over time.
