Far as I can tell that argument isn't a technical argument. It's more of a lawyer type argument where you toss out objections and hope one of them sticks.
One of my memories was my dad taking me to work after dinner. They were running a wind tunnel. They were scheduled to run it at 9pm but the power company didn't give them the go ahead till 11pm. Which meant they weren't done to 2am. The reason, thing draws close to 200 MW. They ran it at night because it's cheaper. Not because they particularly loved blowing their evening into the late morning.
Lot of industrial users are chasing price.
Friend of mine has solar panels and lives in Arizona. She and her husband run the air conditioner full tilt in the afternoon off the panels and then turn it off when the sun goes down.
Much as I poop on the idea that free market pixie dust is the and only the solution to all of our problems. I would assume this is one it'll solve just fine. Seriously if running your air conditioner costs $1/hr in the afternoon and $5/hr after 8pm, you know what people will do.
