Recently saw this gem of wishful thinking:

Every power plant I've seen is designed, rated, and licensed for a specified maximum power output. The cumulative yearly output also is limited by shutdowns for necessary maintenance and those caused by unforeseen circumstances.
You can't just mandate a power increase.
What you CAN mandate, however, is to stop the stupid practice of shutting down carbon emitting power plants before replacing them with reliable alternatives. This should have been obvious to any and all professional engineers and system planners.
