Others and myself have been arguing against the baseload myth on HN and other places for ages, but it just persists.
The thing is, while we are still ramping up renewables wind and solar compete with the traditional "base load" large nuclear and coal plants, they are not replacing load following gas turbines until much later. Even Wikipedia says that variable supply like wind and solar are one of the sources to supply base load.
