is so they can send electricity back and forth to each other during peak times. Kind of like robbing Peter to pay Paul. With more power plants they wouldn't need to send power back and forth to one another. If I were in charge there would be 500,000MW added to the grid over the next 10 years, along with the construction of a completely new and modular transmission system.
