Okay, so your bill is going to be a LOT higher for the next few years to pay for them to be built.

Until the public are prepared to turn devices off whenever they’re told, we need readily available sources of energy that can be fired up at a moment’s notice to fill the gaps between demand and what the renewables are providing. That’s done with gas, and so we all have to pay to keep a handful of gas stations operational. The alternative is that you turn appliances off on still cloudy days, which I suspect you’d like less than your current energy bill

It’s nice they named it after the king. He gets so little in life
