    We have had peaking plants for a long time . Whether they be gas fired or pumped hydro , we have actually needed them for much longer than you think . In the past we didn't rely on them as much as we do now but times have changed .

    " The beauty of gas turbines is they can reach superheat very quickly. You just open a valve to start the process. "

    Actually , that's not quite correct . Best if you stop making stuff up to suit your agenda .

    " Yet the base load coal power station keep producing albeit at a reduced rate, just in case the sun goes behind a cloud!"

    Really ? Behind a cloud ?

    Give me a break .
