    As a Canadian, if you taxed us for electricity the way we’re taxed to provide universal healthcare, we’re all for it. It would be cheaper then what we have now too

      That’s great. As an Americans I agree.

      My point is we don’t have a green grid at full readiness. I hope we do soon via distributed storage .

      But for now, municipal or not, the power station has bills and operational standards. Big swings in revenue, as well as the operational challenge of starting and stopping every day is a challenge that we currently are experiencing.

      We need those plants (currently!) To provide the backbone, so unfortunately have to suffer their habits and needs
