Any one who has basic understanding of power plants would know that every equipment and the power plant as a total requires how much power to run. For example: a standard 270 MW plant would require so much, a super critical 800 MW boiler would burn so much coal etc. One wonders though why would the total consumption for a power plant change so much.

In spite of Iran not bowing down a huge, Obama went ahead and has completed a deal (may be due to geo-political reasons), but the attempt to negate war with negotiations has been done with greater push.
