Meredith Angwin in her 2020 book Shorting the Grid: The Hidden Fragility of Our Electric Grid makes the case that so-called "Renewable Portfolio Standards" (RPS) mandates in states with ISOs or ROs are actually schemes to require just-in-time natural gas fired generation to back up the solar and wind generation. (RPS schemes discriminate against nuclear, large hydro, and coal-fired generation.) Electric grid reliability is being sacrificed in states with RPS schemes.
