You are burning a lot of coal for no energy if you spend an hour a day starting and an hour a day stopping a plant.
- kartickv 10y agoI assume "less energy", not "no energy", but in any case, what better alternative would you suggest in a grid with significant amounts of intermittent sources, like 70%?
- dzdt 10y agoPumped hydro or battery storage are one possibility. Smart pricing to industry who can throttle back usage if demand outstrips supply is another.
