While distasteful on the face of it, this may be a good way to increase base load utilization going forward, base load being powered by nuke, solar and wind. Instead of purchasing expensive infrastructure (methane) to power peak periods in a manner quick to ramp up and down, pay off known optional users to free up capacity.
