I think you’re blaming the wrong things. Climate change is stressing all electrical grids, but it’s obviously worse in Texas where there are no interconnections

I think you’re blaming the wrong things. Climate change is stressing all electrical grids, but it’s obviously worse in Texas where there are no interconnections to the rest of the US. Fossil fuel plants were not resilient in the face of the Texas cold, while solar was. If they had interconnections to another grid, well, it was sunny in California at the time.
Storage is a highly tractable problem, and people are making money in energy arbitrage today.
