That is an unrealistic view, and ignores how the market works. As prices go up, people start conserving. And prices WILL go up. Also, TDP plants aren't that hard to build. The technology of construction of a TDP plant is pretty old - its plumbing. Boilers, pipes, valves, storage tanks,etc, and some computerized control equipment. The workers don't have to be rocket scientists either. Most can be trained fairly quickly for their jobs and supervised by a few highly trained technicians, much like a current refinery.
