Link up 3,000,000 homes with batteries in each and the need for base load drops dramatically.
A bit in the future but not that far if we have a committed federal government.
Ive only been back on the grid for about a year now and here we get power outages all the time and only when we have hot nights like this so I know how you feel.
Our last house ( off grid ) we had 7 years of no outages but plenty of dim nights and generators running which you sort of get used to.
There has to be somewhere in between
Keep cool

Power outages like this are due to the distribution system not being able to cope. Nothing at all to do with wind/hydro/whatever...
