Comment on nuclear fear-mongering is a ploy by Big oil
antimongo@lemmy.world 1 month agoI like nuclear and all, but I don’t think nuclear can fill the same spot as peaker plants. Nuclear usually fills the base load needs on the grid. I don’t believe there’s nuclear with ramp rates capable of competing with a peaking gas turbine.

that is what im describing. im saying turn old peakers into base stations. use batteries as new peak power batteries w renewables batteries can also take up excess power from base stations as they cant immediately downshift production.
