"Dirtier power generation doesn't work because physics. Frequency gets too high (a few Hz or so), turbogenerators/turbines blow up. Frequency gets too low, resonances destroy them."
You very obviously have no idea what you are talking about.
Turbines blowing up because they spin a few Hz faster? Mine never did. Turbine destroyed because of "resonances" when freq too low? Mine never did that either.
Not the 1100MW one at my old job, nor the two 500MW ones at the job before that and also not the 12MW one at my current job.
