So Far So Good for Germany's Nuclear Phase-Out, Despite Dire Predictions

12. What a CROCK!!!

As the new study shows, renewables completely ‘obliterate’ the need for baseload power.

Either you are reading someone's propaganda, or you don't know what baseload power is.

The power usage varies throughout the day. The "baseload" power is simply the mathematical minimum of the power usage over a day. It's the minimum amount of power that is provided over the 24 hour day. Many renewable proponents make the ERROR in thinking that the baseload power has something to do with the generation of energy.

Quite the contrary; the baseload power has only to do with the demand for energy. There is a baseload power provided that the demand for power is finite and doesn't drop to zero. The ONLY way you don't have a need for baseload power is if at some point in the day, the demand for power drops to ZERO.

That never happens. One of the main reasons is that modern society makes extensive use of refrigeration. The demand for electric power in your home never drops to zero; not even at night. The reason is that you have a refrigerator that runs at night. Restaurants have refrigerators too. So do the other components of the food supply business.

In addition, hospitals require power 24 hours a day; as does anyone with a medical device that supports them that requires power 24 / 7.

The idea that there is no baseload power requirement is a convenient LIE, UNTRUTH, and FALSEHOOD that is usually told in a self-serving manner by the proponents of solar power since that methodology doesn't have a prayer at meeting the power demand at night in the absence of an energy storage capability that we don't have.

Once you tell that particular lie; I know not to listen or heed anything else you say.
