That baseload argument cuts both ways. Solar and wind can only serve as a baseload from 10-2, but only on sunny days, or when the wind blows (but not too hard).

There's a reason every country moving to wind and solar is still burning more and more coal. Not everyone is as lucky as N. America to have a near limitless supply of natgas to make up for renewable's huge shortcomings.
