I can’t help but think that by 2020 standards, the SE Louisiana power grid is under-engineered. It’s hard for me to imagine that what’s in place is the best possible mousetrap that can possibly be built.
A power grid can be made much more resistant to wind, can’t it? From an engineering standpoint, I mean. I’m sure the biggest constraint is money rather than technology.
Would it make sense for Entergy to maybe offer bare-bones home generators to their customers? Maybe build the cost into the billing over a period of time? I guess a lot of people would refuse to take on higher rates, though.
