I am a retired Journeyman Wireman and Electrician Program instructor at a Community College. I want to be able to talk and write about electricity production and transmission factually. Could you answer these questions or statements for me.
1. Electricity, for the most part needs needs to be consumed the instant it is produced?
2. Wind or Solar electricity is essentially in addition or parallel to the base load, and do little to lessen the use of coal, NG, or nuclear derived electricity!
3. Electricity is bought and sold just like a commodity?
Jason,
What is your knowledge and/or opinion of the solar hibernation that appears to be in the initial phases?

Excellent question! Give me a week or two to do proper research, and I will write a post about this.
