The conspiratorial thinking isn't helping your argument.
It's quite clear you haven't engaged with this topic outside of internet arguments. I sincerely hope you do some reading and learn more here - you clearly have the passion.
Until then, find someone else to harass.
If base load isn't required, where are these grid level storage facilities? Last I checked there were <100 and they are handle a fraction of a percent of the US grid load.
How many does china have? They have a much larger solar/Wind installation then the US so surely they should have hundreds of thousands, and yet?
In ths US as of 2022, 66% of natural gas facilities are for Base Load generation, something that you claim isn't needed. Maybe you should let the engineers and grid planners know? https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61444
Can you provide a link showing the huge amount ofenergy storage that has been built alongside wind and solar? Surely such a huge undertaking would have at least a wikipedia page about it? Maybe a graph showing the increase in storage capacity over time? Afterall, base load isn't needed anymore, this seems like a huge development in the past 10years! I'd love to learn about the inflection point where base load was no longer required.
