Most grids today were not conceived to stop renewables, but were built on design from then top-down energy structure. Most national grids are aged dinosaurs, suffering from lack of investment as there was no market incentive.  Rebuilding the decrepit infrastructure allows for a complete re-conception of what the grid is supposed to accomplish, including being both decentralized to allow dispersed generation and being an information conduit to micromanage information controlling smart technologies.

But that would be too simple.
