    Yeah exactly. None of it is profitable if you can’t meet instant demand changes at any time of day. Build the nukes to meet full demand needs and supplement them with “more profitable” options for redundancy.

      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.
