We are going to need a lot more substations in neighborhoods.

In Texas, wind power peaks at night. And the wind power swing from night to day is huge.
Of course solar peaks during the day which is when it's needed most so win-win. Texas is no where near where it could be for solar so the next few years will see a lot of solar growth here.
The one thing wind and solar need is something to handle the swings due to weather. What better way than to plug in millions of mobile batteries around the grid.
