Hawk I'm beginning to think you need to read up on how the hydro system works on the Columbia.

Grand Coulee is the primary peaking and dynamic regulator of frequency and voltage in the Northwest. They can go from 200 MW to 5 GW in a matter of a couple minutes and then back down again.

No thermal plant can do that!
