    It’s in-fill which is only used when needed and it’s reducing every year as more renewable sources are added.

      is only used when needed

      Sure, but it’s still GHG emissions, “only when needed” or not. The whole point we’re making is those gas generators should have been nuclear generators in the first place.

      And we continue building gas and coal power plants. Why? Build nuclear plants instead.

        It’s only temporary measure while other renewables come on board. It can be built, serve its purpose and then decommissioned before a nuclear plant could even have been built. As a stop-gap it’s the “best worst solution”.
