Many wrongly think gas plants run all the time. They do not.

For reasons like planned maintenance, mechanical breakdowns, no fuel, and costs too high to be dispatched, gas plants do not run "all the time."

Gas plant capacity factors range on average from 13% to 66%. #energysky

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

To understand how crazy, and dangerous, this move is, just realize that Trump is now declaring that FAA airplane safety certifications will henceforth be made by politicians who know absolutely nothing about aircraft safety.

The Green Party has claimed figures from a projection show “only the Greens can stop Reform” in Gorton and Denton.

This is misleading. The model cited suggests Reform and the Greens will increase vote share the most, but currently projects a Labour win.
