I would say you are incorrect concerning cities which rely on one primary power
source, especially, if its local or regional. Power by wire, is common
practice, but first we must have sufficient spinning, or ready reserve. My
objection is now the source of power, but if it produce enough power at an
affordable cost? Your solar and wind may, 17 years from now, do the job that
gas turbines, or nukes, or coal, or hydroelectric does right now. Right now,
today 40 GW (is that Gigawatt hours or days?) is no more then a trifling amount
of what is needed by the human species. I object to governments switching off
power, when no sufficient substitute now exists. Many greens are fine with
rolling blackouts and brownouts because at least whatever power is produced is
environmentally benign. I suspect that when people start doing a die-off, the
Greens will state: "Oh, then would've died anyway from pollution,
contamination, and a ruined environment.."

Your basically saying I am wrong for no contestable reason, you have
no city in the world to cite to me that is powered by solar power or
wind, for that matter,
And there are none powered exclusively by hydroelectric power either.
It's a completely specious critereon that you cite as though it meant
something. Because B cannot now completely satisfy all demand for X
currently supplied by A doesn't make B useless, nor does it make A desirable
or necessary.
