In addition, baseload power sources are not competitive in a grid dominated by wind and solar energy anyway.

    Did you notice yourself using the word “solar” in this conversation rather than “renewables”?

      Yes. I used renewables. But I used solar before because that was specifically the conversation. What a funny and irrelevant question.
