I have started to view "baseload" generation more in a negative sense (as in "can't be easily turned on/off").
Also the daytime/nighttime power consumption differs almost twice, so almost any solar added only smoothens out the difference.
Also the new offshore wind turbines (>10MW) offer some extraordinary capacity factors (~60%). Makes me wonder what these capacity factors could be if we could get to 20MW turbines.
