| I think you are just looking at the supply part of electric generation, there is a demand side as well. When Texas went into the deep freeze, electric demand went up. Demand varies on a hourly basis in Nebraska summers. Hence, irrigators pay more for no control on electric pumps. Pretty sure a local city has base generation of coal, but has NG peaker plants to handle demand spikes. Bottom line, need to have a diversity of electric generation. Pretty sure the coal fired plant in western Nebraska relies on a small hydo electric plant to get started in the event of a complete shutdown. | |
