I'm glad ERCOT added 4 GW of renewable generation capacity, but that doesn't translate into regional or localized energy reserves. Distributed energy storage relieves transmission grid capacity. Without enough grid capacity, consumption can't be fulfilled even with infinite generation capacity. The challenge is in deploying safe and efficient distributed energy storage, also realizing there are domestic terrorists who aren't above shooting holes in transformer fins.
