Renewable Revolution

Nice comment on the above article (I posted it at Renewable Energy Word too.) 

This is a most enjoyable discussion, I found A.G. Gelbert's article particularly interesting, - a whole new area there, but one thing I would like to introduce to these discussions is to let go of the concept of Baseload, - it is meaningless, emotionally loaded, and thoughtless.

One could talk of minimum load, maximum load, (up to 20 times higher than minimum load), or even, stretching it, - (as it ignores people, climate, fashion and picayune day to day circumstances) - Average minimum and Average maximum, but baseload? what does it mean? What is the base of baseload? - I can't see any justification for not calling the minimum load as baseload, so let's just call it minimum load and move on.
