You might and try learning about what is going on in California RIGHT NOW. PG&E can't even keep our AC on when it gets hot on some days. I live next to the biggest Geothermal unit in the world and have family and friends that work there. They said that there will be rolling blackouts this year too because of too much demand.
This has nothing to do with energy density but too little electrons and to much demand. Think millions of electric cars are going to help? :R
Actual rolling blackouts due to lack of generation capacity have been very rare in CA.
CA grid reliability is ranked 19th by USNews. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/infrastructure/energy
