Doug V. Fant - Thank you. FWIW, several years ago my company had a deal going (in Seattle I think) to help organize local industries to run their emergency power generators to supply peak power. The city in question had hydro power available but the main transmission from the dam to the city was saturated. The local industries already had sunk their capital costs, and this simply allowed them to get some payback. I have no idea if the local emergency plants were gas turbines or not. It is an interesting concept.

Separately I read a month ago that Pennsylvania was moving towards deregulation which would enhance NG usage. I forget the details.
