Has anyone done the what-if on microgrid infrastructure for Texas? Seems like consumer electricity free markets could behave reasonably even under crisis-constrained supply if you added some of those micro grid resilience features I keep hearing about.

1. BTM (behind the meter battery like Tesla powerwall)
2. Better price prediction
3. Opt-in load shedding
4. Local generator capacity with net-metering (solar, fuel)
I’m guessing for < 10k/home you could add enough to both protect against 1-2 day outages and avoid big bills

We’re going to see more failures of state capacity as climate-related fragilities eat through infrastructure, not less. So screaming for more regulation will be futile.

I'd like to hear what people who though shutting down the diablo nuclear facilities have to say after the "incident" with power outages.
