@gladonos3384 I mean, there are other buffer solutions besides burning fossile fuels, but it is a problem that needs addressing.

@therealctoo4183 that's not a rational argument for a whole bunch of reasons. Please avoid thought-terminating cliches

@jasonwalker9471 ^ this is the rational approach. We'll eventually be switching to more nuclear in the future, but right now, it's just about building everything we can to get off fossile fuels asap and linking it together to create a robust grid. The cost of delays now will be more than the costs of optimization later.

If fossile fuel companies had to pay for the negative externalities of their business, they would all switch to another power source or go bankrupt. It's easy to make a profit with a terrible business model when you get to shift most of the costs of your business onto uninvolved 3rd parties.
