Jeeze it almost seems like the 21st century might take some sort of smart grid, and having a bunch of big dumb plants that cannot be turned on and off without great expense should be a relic of the past!
There is a cost to that. Everyone complains about that.
That's why for example China are building new coal plants. The new ones turn on and off quicker.
