I've spent a very long time trying to form a response that doesn't let Jill be right but no matter how I slice it, she's technically correct then. Brownouts cause rolling blackouts. I hate it.
She is right. The key problem is she ran with the assumption that we need to stop using EVs and heat pumps. We actually need the grid to pull their finger out and adapt to what is about to happen.
Well sure but that's the case for most things. The increased electricity draw from electric based technologies can run the risk of overloading the grid while government chooses a new hole to stick their thumb in. She's just blaming technology instead of the government like a proper old person.
