FlyingScot, looks like you posted the same link twice, maybe you can add the one you meant to send.
There are 2 separate infrastructures that need to be updated. One is the electric grid, the other is the natural gas delivery pipelines. I know the comments above were California centric, but they make a good point that applies elsewhere. We can't power more cars, more ductless split HVAC systems, and accommodate more renewable energy sources without upgrading the grid. We know there is a problem in CA. We know there is a problem in TX. The truth is the problem is country wide. NG as well, because you can't bring more power plants on line if you can't fuel them, the winter load on the northeast natural gas delivery pipelines is pretty close to 100% of capacity.
