This is quite literally the opposite of what we need. Not only do we need more interconnection capacity to be able to locate renewables where they will be most effective but interconnection capacity is going to be crucial with the increased frequency of severe weather events as other grid regions will be able to support others under stress.
MYOP (Make Your Own Power) everyone should be able to generate enough power on their own to cover the buildings needs. If the max a house uses per day at worst is 30kw that house should produce 30kw to use.
No way a house 30kW at any point
Tell that to my power bill to keep the house 80 during summer...
