>> It's just math. Good way to start off this rebuttal. >> The amount of electricity needed to secure the network is directly proportional to the price OK, this is a good argument, actually. But you are neglecting future improvements in energy, adoptions in solar, and the fact that electricity is not a statically-defined generation amount; there are many, many megawatts available that are not being tapped into - particularly in hydro - due to infeasibility of transmission. This is trivially evident in the number of people moving to Chelan County, Washington, as well as Quebec, amongst other initiatives and movements. Your "just math" argument neglects... a lot of math, which is what I figured.
