    None of this is profitable if you can meet demand power at will either.

    It’s just a scarcity game that those in power use to keep things ticking along.

    What is infrastructure to most, is a tuned revenue machine to a very few.

    The purpose of a system can be determined by its output, and it’s working quite well in that aspect.

      I’ve never had a rolling black out or brown out but we burn coal around here and there are proposals for some small nuclear sites. Yes there’s some solar and wind as well but we are a net exporter of energy to the western states.
