Actually, this is something I'm not clear on: Why can't we just add free-spinning "generators" to the grid to contribute inertia?

  Costs money. And, unnecessary.

    It's pretty clearly necessary to solve. And any kind of energy generation costs money. So I don't think that, unqualified, those are good reasons.

      Free-spinning wheels generate no energy. Electronics do the job much cheaper.
