It now gets nearly 25% of its electricity from renewables. In 2011, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) warned that the power grid would face great risk to reliability from the growth of intermittent and unreliable renewables. We didn’t listen: Doing so would have conflicted with the climate movement.

In the earlier cold snap, the grid was pushed to the limit and rolling blackouts swept the state, spurring an angry Legislature to order a study of what went wrong.
