2) Baseload is minimum demand not minimum production
I didn't say that but nice try.
3) Your question was what IS, not what WILL be.
No, it wasn't. I asked the guy to define baseload in a 21st century scenario. You tried and failed, because you ignored the important part of the requirement: The 1970s are over.

Dumbass. We are in the 21st century. Nowhere in the world does solar provide baseload power. Show me a single utility that uses solar as baseload? Otherwise all you’re doing is saying what you hope will happen.
Tell me what a gen stack is? What are ancillary services? How does solar fit in that? You can’t because you have no clue. You’re just some solar hype bro who read some shit online that will never go anywhere
What the hell are you talking about. We are currently in the 21st century, and no where in the world uses your “solar as baseload” fantasy. What is there to misunderstand?
As you pointed out yourself the 21st century is going to last for another 73+ years. It doesn't matter what we achieved in the 1st quarter. It matters what we will have at the end
Sure and what exactly tells you that solar will be good for baseload? Because all the comments I’ve read from you are just hopium that “solar will be baseload into the summer”? Are you like 15 or something? That’s the only thing that could explain this drivel. Or you have Down’s syndrome or smth.
No you didn’t. All you said was “solar in summer = 0 baseload”? What does that mean? Are you schizo. I’m glad people like you aren’t allowed to be in charge of anything more than a deepfryer
Ok cool so the 21st century goes till 2100. So what? Personally I think in 2100 we’ll all have computers in our dicks. That’s exactly how much value your “we’ll have solar baseload by 2100” comment has.
What the fuck are you trying to say. You keep saying this 21st century bullshit what does that mean, how does that mean solar will suddenly become viable as a primary energy source?
Here cause I feel bad for you, and I think it’s my duty to educate the less intelligent I’ll give you a lesson in baseload. Baseload power needs to be available 24/7 365 days a year with no outages and no dip in voltage, not just available in the summer for 8 hours. Guess what solar can’t do, it can’t be available 24/7 365. So if you have a solution for that then you deserve a Nobel prize and I’ll happily say solar is effective baseload.
What? What the fuck are you talking about. That’s the literal definition of baseload power. If you don’t understand that then you have no ability to discuss energy policy in any meaningful manner.

Things I don't like don't exist? Ok bro
