A peaking power plant can quickly respond to grid operators' calls when electricity demand is high – but the power they supply is costly and typically generated using fossil fuels. As we face increasingly scorching summers, will peaker plants be the only solution to keep the grid stable? (Spoiler alert: no) Let’s explore what peaking power plants are. 👇 For more: http://ms.spr.ly/6046l1XnC

Independent Researcher, Clean Energy, Leading to climate change solved. Affirm any kinetic motion is converted to heat naturally. The reverse is correct but needs particular care using special tools which have a cost.
However, the safe/economical solution is to stop powering steam turbines and wasting heat in cooling towers. Steam transmits its pressure/flow to a liquid (water, oil, ammonia, etc.). Then, we multiply the output power of the existing parc by more than three and reduce harm by more than three. We open the way to natural, free primary Energy. So, we reposition the existing Energy.
