Lol....so asking people to not use electricity, maybe they will keep the power on? And then they mandate by a certain year to stop production of gasoline vehicles ..reeeeeal smart

That's right. A smart grid. We used to only have control of the supply side of the grid. We're beginning to have control of the demand side

A responsive grid is less expensive (peaker plants are the most expensive power source) and cleaner (peaker plants are some of the dirtiest sources of energy)

I think some rolling blackouts while production increases is ok in the short term when the alternative is doing absolutely nothing to stop the end of the world
