The bigger the grid the bigger the impact of failure (which does happen) and the harder to get it back up.
You want a grid big enough to have some variety in use, generation, and weather, but not so big that one malfunction takes out everyone.
Aside from Texas, the US grid is just fine.
What the fuck are u talking about? Do u even know what the map shows?
Quite the opposite, bigger grids are much more stable. When faults happen, tiny subsets of the grid get disconnected from the rest, it does not take the whole thing down at all...
