No, that's wrong. Look around you at the things which are consuming power 24/7. Look beyond your dwelling at the street, the neighbourhood, the city and the country. All those things require constant power 24/7, without interruption. That is what baseload is. It's not some invention of the existing generation industry, it's a function of demand. It's not some conspiracy theory dreamt up by the nuclear power industry. Cities without baseload power have long periods of blackouts and intermittent power. These are places of lower standard of living.
