(Commentary: of course, they make it a pitch for more fossil fuel development, ie natural gas pipelines):

"Pablo Vegas, the Electric Relability Council of Texas' CEO, said at an event hosted by the trade group U.S. Energy Association that investors aren't putting enough capital into developing natural gas pipelines, transmission lines and other power grid infrastructure. "

Its a Texas company. They have an isolated grid. Before we spend any capital on this how about a proper integrated system that allows electricity to flow countrywide.

It will never happen, and as much as I loath the government in charge of stuff like this, we need a national power grid OWNED by the government to move power around. If its cloudy in say the Mojave, the wind farms in say Nevada can move power they would have to dump, to areas of need rather than more peaker plants and the like.
