"Baseload capacity is going to become an anachronism” former (FERC) Chairman Jon Wellinghoff

[Bill USA]

2. right. more from the article referenced in OP.

"Baseload" plants, a term typically applied to nuclear or coal-fired power plants, provide energy and some capacity. Interestingly, other types of power plants can provide these resources, often at costs competitive with baseload plants. Wind plants can produce energy just as well or better than nuclear or coal plants, while natural gas plants can provide capacity at lower cost than nuclear or coal plants. Thus, despite claims to the contrary, there is no inherent need for baseload power.

ZERO is being said in D.C. or on GOP-M$M about the fact that wind power is competitive with coal and that as the number of Wind farms increases the need for as much Base Load capacity is reduced! And this makes the grid MORE RELIABLE. -- oh, and then there's the zero operations emissions part of it, too!
