“电力具有可怕的挥发性，这是因为电力需要保存在完全平衡的系统下，这个系统是个大问题。”

While natural gas has doubled in price this year, Wachowich said electricity has - if only momentarily - seen spikes of up to 2000%. He said that happens because electricity can't be stored and is always susceptible to price fluctuations. 7 R* V$ J! J0 R g
我生为吃说道，当今年天然气价格翻番的时候，人们马上就预见到电力价格有可能最高上涨2000%。他还说，这是因为电力无法被储存，所以价格也总是极易浮动。
