Uhm, the baseload myth? Build a 100 buffers (be it battery or lakes or heat) for the money one nuclear plant costs. Like you said.
What the fuck do you mean by "base load myth"? Lol

Lol the first link mostly squabbles over definitions, and argues for natural gas.
The second link relies on simulations and required specific blends of several renewable sources to get rid of the need for a baseload source, which is not a broadly applicable solution. Not every location can have 50% wind supplying power (fucking lol) and they STILL required natural gas to ramp up supply.
