Sharing risk to avoid power outages in an era of extreme weather | StanfordReport

Texas left the room.

I'm not willing to have to reduce my power usage so someone else can live in a desert. If it's uninhabitable, people shouldn't live there.

I'm sure there is a simple answer and I'm an idiot, but given it's in a place that gets lots of sun, can they not just install solar panels with batteries at consumer/grid level?

Or is the problem not with the generation of the power and with transmitting it to properties? I don't know cost of solar installation but I'm sure the amount it's costing them when it all fails they could at least incentives individuals to install solar or something.
