The Coach had suddenly become stale overnight and that filtered to the boys on the field with a penchant for unseriousness, lackadaisical attitude and to prove that, talented young players in their generation such as Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade - Chamberlain, Jack Wilshere and even Aaron Ramsey peaked at an early stage in their careers without knowing that they had peaked because there was very little coming from the coach.

That's because «a generation of American mathematicians at the very peak of their mathematical efficiency by luck just happened to graduate at the same time these Russians [were] coming in,» Borjas explains.

Over generations there is now a worldwide population of sugar addicts, not unlike the cigarette smoking craze that peaked in the 1950s and 60s, only worse because the problem is not taken seriously, and the powers - that - be are addicts too.

In the California Independent System Operator's (CAISO) Summer Loads & Resource Assessment, CAISO noted that the generation supply was expected to be adequate in order to meet peak electrical demand requirements in spite of drought - related concerns, in part because of recent renewable and natural gas capacity additions.

As long as solar is a relatively small part of the mix, it actually helps level the load curve, because demand is so much higher during the day than at night, and particularly if you have a lot of nuclear in the mix, solar will reduce the need for peaking generation.

But because of wind's variable nature, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which manages the grid, only includes 8.7 percent of wind generation in estimating available power at peak conditions, even though it frequently generates a much greater amount.

Wind power and solar energy, because of their intermittency and unpredictability, require back - up generation, especially during peak - load capacity, and that has generally entailed the construction of natural - gas plants.

Previously, solar power plants had depended on back up energy plants powered by carbon emitting fuels because a solar system's peak generation hours do not coincide with the utility's peak load hours after 5 p.m. Low sunlight meant low energy generation, and this challenge scaled back the environmental benefits of solar plants.

Because the generation is located near the location where it is needed, distributed generation reduces the need to build new transmission and distribution infrastructure and also reduces losses at peak delivery times.

In New England and Mid Atlantic gas demand peaks on cold winter nights because of heating demand and also because a lot of electricity generation is from gas peaker plants.
