If we're going to try and ramp up battery production and technology, then in for a penny in for a pound. We should really decentralize the power grid enough to take the weight of these types of spikes, putting in batteries to the home (like the Tesla wall, but with more competition) and solar/wind/gravity generation to supplement grid power generation. It's a jobs program that's been needed and called for for the last few years anyway, and now seems the time... not that the governmental gridlock would ever let anything like that happen, or even a spending project for small equity home/apartments retrofitting would happen. Not to mention the raw materials needed for the batteries.
