They were forced to build renewables which are shitty at everything and completely failed.

Only 15% of the grid were renewables. It just doesn't compute. They could easily have told everyone to conserve unnecessary power usage like lights, tv, laundry, washing machines, and reduced need by far more than 15%.

A few hours of blackout is reasonable. More than a day is absolutely not.
