Plentiful sunshine and generous solar incentives are here. In 2011, Tregs Independent Brewing worked with Solar Renewable Energy to install a rooftop solar array large enough to produce 15-20 percent of its annual electricity usage.

Similar extreme cold weather caused grid emergencies in 2011, 2014, 2018, and again in 2022. These recurring electric supply crises revealed the vulnerability of conventional power plants and the gas supply to cold weather. Congress can step in and require reliability standards for the gas industry for the first time ever.

Advocates of renewable energy have argued since the 1970s that the variable, weather-dependent nature of sunlight and wind is a modest obstacle at best to relying on 100 percent renewables. Some have argued that weather-dependent energies would, paradoxically, make electricity even more reliable.
