> rolling blackouts each summer
We haven't had a rolling blackout since the early 2000 and Enron.
What we do have is decades of PGE not doing any work to maintain or upgrade their grid. Our power company is so incompetent it has a death toll.
Texas gets something like 24 percent of its power from wind. IT has now updated its rules to force all renewables to be ride through sources (this will add cost but it isnt going to slow things down).
Go take a deep dive into the numbers, you might be shocked at what you find.
