I hear there are many plants offline also, there apparently is a system in

have met their annual allottment.  My take is its all a plan by left wing
environmentalist wackos to put up so many roadblocks that plants cant be
built.  I hear 2 were just approved, but there have been none built in a
very long time, despite the population in the sun belt.

As others have said, it just makes things worse when several thousand
generators all come online. Does anyone know if a plant that has used
their annual allottment can be brought online if you reach a stage 3
emergency?
