    Not really, not right now it isn’t. If you want to cover baseload with wind and solar you’ll need energy storage. We haven’t got a solution that scales well, yet.

      Base load isn’t really a thing. This is the problem with pro nuclear. There isn’t an understanding of the issue. Lets not talk about reaction time of fission plants.

        Base load isn’t really a thing.

        How do you figure that?

        This is the problem with pro nuclear. There isn’t an understanding of the issue.

        Is this an attempt at insult? If you believe that I have misunderstood something, then please enlighten me.

        Lets not talk about reaction time of fission plants.

        Agreed, let’s leave that out of the equation, as then the only viable backup to solar and vind, using current technology, is burning stuff.
