Finland starts much-delayed nuclear plant, brings respite to power market

It's the incentivized/induced demand problem. Build out a new freeway, suddenly it's full of traffic. Same thing for power. If you make power cheap people find more ways to use it.

This is still probably a good thing, but something to consider.

Much of "induced demand" will be for synthesizing hydrogen and hydrocarbons, which then compete with mined sources, absorb otherwise unused peak capacity, and provide back-up storage.

I think you mean induced demand?
