    It’s how it’s currently being done. Like sure they could use solar, but they’re not going to, because it’s faster and cheaper up front to power them with methane.

    Like solar would be cheaper in the long run, but since when have these companies ever thought about the long term consequences of their actions.

    They’ve made a lot of hay about starting up old nuclear plants or the like, but, in terms of numbers, it’s nearly all powered by methane turbines.
