    Weird, I could have sworn there was an extra 4GW of climate neutral generation capacity around last winter. Strange that these horribly toxic coal plants need to get fired up just for 2GW. Where did those 4GW go I wonder…

    Good that they shut down the nuclear plants, comes in handy. Coal is way better for our climate!
