The graph shows that there's isn't nearly as much hourly fluctuation as people seem to think. Even in the summer peak and trough electricity demand difference is only about a a third. Most of the time the difference is about 1/5th. People speak about demand fluctuation as though there's hardly any electricity usage at night. The reality is that solar and wind's intermittency is a big problem that cannot be solved by overproduction. Nuclear does not require energy storage, its power output can be modulated by more aggressively cooling the reactor. Plants don't do this because they want to operate at 100% capacity as much as they can, it's not that nuclear plants can't modulate power output as is commonly stated.
