I said nothing about grid disruptions. Charitably, ‘relied on’ is undefined. Each US interconnect still has many MWh provided by coal plants. Further, coal capacity is still hundreds of gigawatts but you are right that capacity has gone down over the last decade (this isn’t true in China). Still, we all ‘rely on’ coal for any reasonable definition even with relatively more natural gas capacity. We have also always had substantial natural gas generation in every interconnect. The thing that has changed since the shale boom is the relative proportion of those things. I am not sure I would call that disruption since that is how energy markets are designed to work, they reward the lowest cost producer. My only point is that gas looks expensive until you realize you are comparing today’s price to the lowest prices ever. You pointing out that demand has increased supports my point (imagine what the price would be without that demand).
