I don't think so, I mean, it cost $2bn just to turn the lights on at that place! And that was 1995 2 billion, not hyperinflated 2026 2 billion!

True, but I’m only going on memory as I rewatch the shows every year, lol. 🫣 So at some point they mention only the gate and dialer use the newer generators.
The other base systems default to the original power grid and only in emergency go to the new generators. My guess would be tax reasons to keep the general public from thinking something is off with the books for the facility? Redundancy might also make sense. 🤔
