“The less electricity you need, because you use it more efficiently, the smaller, simpler, and cheaper the supply can be”
If we were building a generation and grid system from the ground up. Unfortunately, we aren’t. Plants would be taken offline in order of operational costs, leaving us with coal and the nukes already built. When said nukes are shut down, more conservation would be encouraged, since there is no reason for a utility to order a plant to fulfill demand that is not there.
