This sounds like a great opportunity to advertise times of cheap excess energy. Encourage more grid scale batteries, desalination, AI compute, crypto mining. Anything that uses a large amount of energy and can be automated to happen ad-hoc.
Thought the goal should be to capture and reuse all the excess energy, and drop fossils to zero once and for all.

I’m really hoping this is a temporary problem.
There are a lot of very large batteries in the process of being built that will start to meaningfully address this issue in the next couple of years.
