@jwildeboer of course in reality this does happen, but it's also a matter of where your generation and storage are. You can't absorb excess supply from Scottish wind farms with EVs in London, for example.
Grids are definitely getting smarter, but maintaining grid stability with additional renewables and increased electrification is neither trivially easy nor cheap.

Cory asks the pertinent question here. If companies can be persons, why not rivers, mountains and wetlands?
It reminds me of Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy where the new Martian society introduces environmental courts to protect the rights of the planet itself, to avoid repeating all the mistakes we've made on Earth.
It is an excellent trilogy in many respects, exploring what a post capitalist society could look like. I should re-read it.
