I am sorry but this read like a report from fantasyland. In the past 3 years I have seen several AWS failures but not a single powercut.
You entire take is based on the idea that AWS replacement has to be superbly reliable and scaleable, while your grid replacement does not.
Lets compare like for like, your grid replacement has to have redundancy so that generators can be repaired without power loss, it has to support megawatt scale spikes in demand in case several friends with electric cars come to visit, it has to have mean time between failure measured in years, withstand extreme weather, and be renewable. Also you need to have black start capacity and logistics to replace equipment promptly when it fails.
How is the cost for that going to compare to using the grid?
