What do you think the response will be if the supply chain can't source replacement parts? the grid is damaged every year from storms and wind in addition to routine replacement of parts and end of life replacement. Typically we've seen power companies when they say are handsomely fined for causing a wildfire and having to pay out repair and legal fees that they just raise rates for that behavior, rather than shouldering the consumer from some blow out of the goodness of their heart.

We went from "solar panels are an intolerable supply chain dependency" to "well the grid needs new transformers and power lines too" as a reason to not switch to solar. Grids will need new transformers and power lines if they're powered by coal too. Do you want to go full dieselpunk or steampunk? Or live in caves wearing animal hides?
