18 days agoIsn’t „elasticity“ the only argument in favour of gas-powered power plants? If they are soooooo elastic, why can’t they lower production from them instead of turning off solar? Oh, wait - so gas-powered power plants have no upsides? Who knew???


I think you are partially right. It depends on the power grid and the connections between certain regions. Even if this was the case - it still proves that gas power plants have basically no upsides and there are other, better ways that can work the same way without making us dependent on imported fossil fuels.
