Our current fossil fuel energy system is like having a shower you need to run 24 hours a day, just dipping in and out of it occasionally as you need it. Ridiculously wasteful, stupid engineering. That’s what ‘baseload’ means. Renewables is moving us to a world where we just make and use energy, as we need it. A shower with taps in it. https://reneweconomy.com.au/baseload-coal-and-peaking-gas-paradigm-no-longer-fit-for-modern-grid-says-aemo-chief/
