It won't work.

Coal, nuclear, and wind are designed to be base load, i.e. run WOT all the time.

Unless you have plenty of hydro, natual gas is the only feasible way to follow the electric load.

I agree we need more wind power, but the cost of the wind mills pales in comparison to the cost of new transmission lines required to support them.

Nuclear is good to, but like he said it'll be 10 years before new Nucs come online.

There are still many old gas plants running with efficiencies around 31%. These should be replaced with combined cycle gas plants with efficiencies of 50 to 60%.
