 A minimum of 20,000MW are needed throughout the [[day]] which can be produced by any available '''energy resource'''. However, a variable amount of [[power]] (around 20,000MW) is also needed, which can only be generated by '''energy resources''' which can quickly vary their [[power]] output.

 The current trend suggests that the use of [[Renewable Energy Resource]]s will continue to increase in the future. However, since [[Wind Power]] is unreliable and cannot be altered to meet demand, there will likely be a need for [[Natural Gas]] to generate [[electricity]].
