The grid can't forever handle increasing demand for electricity. That is regardless if the demand is due to an increase in air conditioning requirements because of global warming and/or a switch to electric vehicles.
Both generation and the grid will have to expand, unless we reduce our energy consumption from the grid, through better insulation and/or rooftop solar. Whatever we do, there are costs associated and personally, I prefer a cleaner and quieter environment.
I see people argue that regulation for well insulated buildings and rooftop solar increases the cost of the home, but that increase would be most likely be offset by a reduction in cost in land and electricity prices. (house prices are for a large part limited by the amount of money people are able to borrow from the bank)
