Well and the "solution" touted by other offices was the setup a low interest loan getup for gas and oil to setup more power plants. You know, but not renewables.

The hand out is blatantly obvious.

If you're talking extra plants for redundancy when power fluctuates, there's really now way to do that with renewables. Maybe giant battery stations, but that's about it.
