Baseload is Schmaseload. The main problem with the baseload argument is that none of them bringing it up asks what happens to baseload if there is enough other energy available. Baseload means I can't power it down easily. Baseload means that I have to dump energy somewhere. Baseload means that I have to switch off other, cheaper alternatives because baseload floods my grid. How much time does it need to switch off a solar panel? A microsecond. How much time does it need to switch off a wind turbine? A few seconds. How much time does it need to switch of a nuclear plant? Many hours.

I didn't have "learning that someone on Slashdot believes that the Cold War was a myth" on my bingo card for today.

That's not even vaguely what I said, so it's unclear if this is some kind of language issue or the result of a disability, but I'm just feeling worse and worse for you. You somehow believe the cold war was about communism?
