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
Right now, it's mostly related to intermittent energy sources (ie: wind and solar). But if the grid is struggling now and you are increasing the load by 20-30%, you can't expect it to be better.
