What has to change is the irresponsible closure of base load facilities without a plan to replace them with resources having similar load serving ability. Energy is not power. Never is, never will be.
It seems like the DOE is relatively cautious on the annual adds they account for (only 200GW by 2030) - I would take a significant over on that value. Not to say that blackouts wont get worse (they almost certainly will), just that the baseline is quite exaggerated.

So an acceleration of capacity adds to the end of the decade?
