But you're being completely disingenuous by not pointing equal blame to our failing grid infrastructure that can't handle the power.
Explain this, please.

not sure what else there is to explain. The power grid is not rated high enough, storage isn’t more widespread, substations are undersized to handle the demand, etc.
Think about rolling blackouts. They perform these when the systems are stressed to the max due to demand, weather, combination of both at times, EVEN WITH renewables entering the grid.
If utilities had substations sized more capably, more modern transmission lines with less losses, more integrated storage systems, they could take in more generation and distribute, causing less stress on the systems, removing the need for a rolling blackout.
