You clearly didn’t comprehend what I wrote. Educate yourself on this topic - not from forum arguments, but from TEA and policy papers.
For one, I said ‘base load’ generation isn’t needed. Your thinking that is is means your thinking on the matter is 10 years out of date. If you insist base load is needed, then gas plants and carbon capture systems are far cheaper and faster to build.
You don’t care, though, as you aren’t seriously involved in the policy and just want to live in a world where you are right 🤷.
Carbon capture is fossil fuel industry green washing. It doesn’t exist and completely ignores other greenhouse gases that are endemic to natural gas extraction and use. Again the purpose of base load, which is needed regardless of the propaganda, is to have a stable grid. The only way base load won’t be needed is if grid-scale storage both could be built (it can’t) and was built (it isn’t). So conveniently natural gas plants are built instead and now the US is the world’s number one producer of fossil fuels.

Isn’t that interesting?
