Assuming the same amount of pollution would exist, at least it would be
distributed in a less sensitive area than the center of town.  

But the same amount of pollution would not exist.  Generating plants
have much idle capacity at night; millions have been spent on schemes
to store energy so it can be used later.  Charging car batteries might be
the best scheme yet.
