Hypothetically, what if my electricity, in my shitty profit seeking corporation, cycles inconsistently?
What if my equipment at my rinky-dink substation fluctuates between something absurd like 40hz to 70hz.
This would be extremely dirty electricity\ electromagnetic pollution.
If you're all using the same wires, you're subjected to those problems even if you don't contract with them. So multiple suppliers doesn't fix the issue. It just introduces more suppliers who can have those problems.
Exactly! A shitty race to the bottom even for electricity is my point.
Never under estimate capitalism's ability to create a shittier alternative, is all I'm saying.
That would destroy the entire grid and a lot of equipment. It's why texas had rolling blackouts a few winters ago, it's a fine balance between supply and demand to maintain stable voltage and frequency. Failure to do so can result in a LOT of damage. If you don't have enough supply, you have to reduce demand.
Why would this electric company care? Would the company not sell the customers a solution?
