Aye, actually when I read the heading I felt some kind of a déjà vu... no wonder.

Well, it's not that you can throw to the bin the energy when those peaks are not happening. Energy production has to be controlled, and thermal plants (such as coal ones), along with hidro-electric plants, are way more flexible than a nuclear reactor. Even in France they use non-nuclear power to adjust production to those peaks. Nuclear power covers just about 75% of electricity generation there.

Anyway, I'm talking about how it IS done currently in MOST countries, like in the States, where only 20% of electricity comes from nuclear power. Any more exceptions apart from France, Finland and two or three other countries?

World's nuclear power generation is more or less steady over the time, as nuclear power plants are not capable to modify their output of energy. Power consumption is not steady. Thus, the variable energy consumption must be obtained by other means rather than nuclear power, and it will be mostly from oil, coal or gas.

Basically, this means that every single time you turn a light on you are producing CO2, like it or not.

Other than that, I agree with your comment.

I cannot get into the Help Israel Win website (server not found). The DNS Team acting again?

C'me on, you're talking about Finland, not about Venezuela. Here people just don't do that. PS: And I'm not Finnish!
