Nobody expects the Buckeye State to ban coal power, but a provision in a bill designed to harm wind and solar may also be an obstacle for building power plants that run on fossil fuels.

Using capacity factor is so damn stupid, but in the long run it may end up working in solar power's favour thanks to the help of grid storage batteries. So thank you, Republicans and Republican think tanks, for your stupidity.

Using CF as a regulatory metric makes no attempt to even understand how power delivery works, and doesn't talk about the demand side of that equation at all.

Why is Ohio prioritizing the ability to deliver power at 3am at full capacity?
