> We have a whole freaking energy grid!

You actually don't. Not one fit for that purpose, at least without significant investment, permitting hurdles, delays etc etc.

If you think you don’t have that grid, your country has to build it (instead of billions and more than 10 years for nuclear). Like the Synchronous grid of Continental Europe [1] and [2] which I far from finished but a good start.
