peaker plant can easily b replace by solar. it’s the perfect match for heat and ac.
the sun is always shining at the extremes. keep a bldg from heating up all day, it’s cool at night. if it’s rly cold, there r no clouds.
i just flipped my 2flat rental to all elec/solar. nice old greystone. i expect $20 elec bills, no matter what. and i get a better rent cuz i save my tenants money.
