Every megawatt of wind or solar REQUIRES 1.14 megawatts of backup generating capacity to back it up. And this has to be generators that can spool up quickly, because wind/solar is so unpredictable. This means GAS or hydro. Nothing else can do that. Since there’s not much hydro in New England, GAS it must be. But a lot of New England homes depend on GAS for heat, which means shortages of GAS, which means high prices. They voted for this, so I;m not sorry. Very much not sorry that I fled Massachusetts in 1977, never to return.
