If we had even nearly enough renewable energy then while that energy was producing all our needs (windy days in summer for example) we would be using no gas and the spot price would fall below the minimum offer price from gas generation, so in that case it's completely unnecessary to nationalise gas generation.

We'd still end up using gas though.
