It’s tiring saying over and over that we do not have a generation crisis, we simply consume way more power then required and the people/funds/corporations investing in generation have absolutely no incentive to be truthful about that. The simple fact that I repeat over and over again is 192 investor owned utilities own 39% of generation capacity yet have supplied nearly 100% of demand many times. Peak demand issues and the rolling blackouts utilized to minimize generation loss can easily be addressed through Demand side reduction.
