The simple solution would be to interconnect the two grids so excess capacity could be wheeled East to West or vice versa. California is going black. If we could just shut off the rest of the Western states for a little bit, connect the grids, resync the generation, we'd be all set.
The problem is more economic than technical. There's plenty of power, just that the right people don't have the cash on hand to pay for it. Just criminal mismanagement, nothing new.
