We could certainly add more combined cycle natural gas turbines to existing plants to meet demand in geographical regions that are unsuitable for wind and solar. Those generators are (comparative to nuclear) fast and easy to onboard to the grid, with (comparative to nuclear) far less safety considerations

But those emit CO2???

[jiveturkey42]

Yes, as do many things that we need for modern civilization

[jedberg]

The point is to reduce carbon emissions, even if it's more expensive.

[jiveturkey42]

I thought the point was to generate enough electricity to sustain civilization
