For the first time ever the grid is not so centralized. Everyone either off-grid of contributing to distributed generation. This has driven so much innovation in the area of power generation that the traditional power companies are struggling to keep up. YouTube and social media basically make us all instant electricians with cookie cutter solutions. Some of us branch out into advanced topic through curiosity. I don't see a lot of disasters caused by the unwashed masses of DIYers. I think multiple point generation will make the grid more resilient.
One of the first thing the grid guy said after coming to my site is "muh islanding". No you don't know much. Linemen assume the lines are hot. Expecting them to be cold is relying on equipments to work flawlessly and that's not a good strategy. Look at this Faraday Cage video
