This seems more reasonable than I expected from the headline. They already have a solar farm, they're looking to add a gas-fired peaker plant right next to it to handle spikes in demand. It won't run 24/7. It's not great, but it's probably less bad than a coal-fired plant which is what they imply is used to meet the demand currently. And it's probably significantly cheaper than deploying enough battery storage to meet the demand. There's also complaints about the location and about the plant being just under the size that would require an environmental review. Those are fair, but the utility is working withing the rules, so folks should really be taking those complaints to their legislature if they want the rules changed.
