What happens when you’ve got nuthin’ to swap?
Ohhh, so observant! You got problems. Remember 10 years ago when Kalifornia had all those issues with expensive power? What ever is committed to has to be provided. In Kali's/SF's case, it is usually very expensive to replace peak power needs. SCE's residential rates are 30 cents a KW for not much power usage.
This is why so many people who look at the long term, cleanest and cheapest solution for the Country's future electricy production needs to focus on nuclear.
Assuming the Japanese, Russians, French or the guys from 3 Mile Island don't operate a facility, nuke facilities are extremely safe.
