I've read somewhere that the baseload thing is a myth and that solar+wind doesnt really need baseload power at all. Is this true?
I've also read that battery costs are already low enough for energy storage to not be a financial hurdle in full decarbonization. So if this is true, why do we even need nuclear?
Pump water up hill into tank when extra power, run water back down through turbines when no extra power. Checkmate petro-cucks.
This is useful but there are some geographic restrictions for it
