That’s not how power grids work. It’s only economically viable to build many forms of green energy if you have a constant baseline consumer, so you rarely or never have to turn off the power plant, and you don’t waste money if you over-allocate enough to meet demand during low production periods (like for wind). Bitcoin is unique in that it provides a constant demand at a particular price.
