    I’ve worked as energy trader.

    “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

    And yes, looking at the gas plants alone they are unprofitable to run, but they allow windfall profits from renewables if they run.

      Again, you’re basing this on the day-ahead market. A marginal market in terms of traded power volume.
