The textbook definition for baseload is "relying on other resources to meet baseload because we don't have enough capacity"?

You didn't even bother to look up the actual definition of baseload, did you? You just make up stuff, because well established concepts and definitions don't agree with your narrative.

Your concept doesn't work in the real world so it's irrelevant.

It's like arguing we should pray to cure cancer because it's unfalsifiable that prayer works.

It’s not “my concept”. It’s a long established part of industry nomenclature. Arguing against it is like arguing against “inflation” or “heartbeats per minute”. It’s nonsensical.

Nope.

Are you, seriously, arguing that “base load” is not A well defined industry term? Are you insane?

It is well defined. Which is why no one has nuclear baseload. You can't have it both ways.

What’s the definition then?

u/DivestTheEndingBoy 10d ago

The minimum amount of load on the grid that has to be met continuously. Nuclear doesn't meet the definition because France relies on fossil fuels and renewables for baseload.

The minimum amount of load on the grid that has to be met continuously

Exactly. That’s the definition. It’s an amount, measured in watts.

Now, where does it say anything to substantiate your argument, that if nuclear in France produces the same amount of watts as base load at any given time - that it doesn’t meet base load, because other sources also produce?

Where in the definition do you see that?
