Wondering how much of the area is powered by those wonderful solar farms?

I & M advertises that it can generate 2,620 M/W of power by coal, 2,278 M/W by nuclear, 450 M/W by wind, 35 M/W by solar and 22 M/W by hydro.

Their problem, I suspect, is their contracts with several large electric arc steel plants. The power to operate these plants when the temperature is 10° below zero and the wind gusting at 40 mph would be enormous (and their penalty for an industrial power outage would be even more enormous).
