Let me define "not any time soon" - not in the next several million years, at least.
I call shenanigans. Interglacials, such as we are in right now, are 1/10th the length of glacials.

Ice age - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_ages
The current geological period, the Quaternary, which began about 2.6 million years ago and extends into the present, is marked by warm and cold episodes, cold phases called glacials (Quaternary ice age) lasting about 100,000 years, and which are then interrupted by the warmer interglacials which lasted about 10,000-15,000 years.

The vehicle-to-grid vs vehicle-to-home discussion is interesting.

Texas' third Coast is out of the tidal power game, Alaska has the fjords.

The vintage gas pump converted to a charge point is neat.

Austin is interesting, but Texas also has Boca Chica[SpaceX].
