@knifefight I don't disagree, but at the same time you need to consider grid storage. Peaker plants will be replaced long term with batteries. Working in the industry we are constantly searching for ways to buy less power and not more.
@knifefight Would you accept the position that as energy grids get smarter and smaller that there will eventually be less "waste" energy produced though? Feels like the clock is ticking on that argument.
