It's not necessary to come up with some novel whackadoodle idea to fix this.

The solution is to charge enough for power that the grid can be maintained to deliver it. The public have been giving themselves a pass on this since the 1960s with some fanciful idea that noting will ever break or fail and we will someday reduce our energy consumption -- something which has yet to occur in the entirety of human history. Energy is way too cheap; modern habits are the result of decades of market dumping. The bill is due; it must be paid.
