Actually rolling blackouts is enough to support at least some natural gas power generation.
- zbrozek 6y agoDuring a heat wave last weekend my power cut out and I started shopping for natural gas generators. At the rate that electricity prices have been increasing lately, it's not even insane to think about running off of the generator full time.
- ed25519FUUU 6y agoThe PGE guide for net metering actually makes a point that it wouldn’t be economical to run a generator and make money off net metering, but I did the math and it’s actually a decent amount cheaper to do so.
- pjc50 6y ago.. what is wrong with your electricity market? What numbers did you conclude?
- cmehdy 6y agoThat's true. In the absence of nuclear that's going to be the case. That is, until you can't afford to buy the gas anyway. It would have been more to-the-point and sincere of them to discuss ways to mess with people so that they encourage further consumption of energy sources that are running out on the scale of our current civilization.
- DennisP 6y agoNot for me, I'll take nuclear over natural gas any day.
