COMMENTARY
The grid is a queue
The grid is not “a constraint” in the abstract. It’s a queue. Interconnection studies, transformers, and permitting create the real schedule. When you see a deployment target, ask: where is it waiting? and who is paid to move it forward? The transition speeds up when those incentives align.

Transmission is the bottleneck
The grid can add renewables faster than it can move them. Transmission is the slowest part of the transition.

Utilities move at the speed of trust
Infrastructure upgrades are political. They require trust in institutions people notice only when they fail.
