Was not an issue before they shut reliable plants in favor of the solar/wind fantasy.

Solar/wind fantasy requires power to be transported big distances, instead of produced by local plants. Hence, the infrastructure cannot handle it. That is still the fault of the solar/wind fiasco.

It's like requiring all goods enter the US through Florida, and then saying the interstate highways cannot handle the truck traffic. Is the problem really the roads, or the fact you restricted all cargo to coming in through Florida?

Exactly, that is the worst part, the corruption of the idea. Solar and wind were thought of as DECENTRALIZED means of generation (on the monicker of "distributed generation") which would REDUCE THE NEED FOR LONG-DISTANCE TRANSMISSION and not increase it (people would generate at their homes where they consume it). They stupidly took solar and wind for what it was not meant to be and made it a business-large, industrialized and concentrated thing. Well guess what if you want to go big then location starts to matter and transmission gets worse.
