Most of the problem with the grid has been caused by politicians, repeat politicians. Politicians caused the closing of coal, gas and nuclear plants for strictly political reasons. Politicians built vast wind turbine and solar installations that were inefficient and unreliable and got kickbacks from the builders. Now we have to fix the problem.
