The #BaseloadParadigm is dead. It's #Renewables and #BESS or nothing going forward.

The tech giant will buy 3GW of US hydropower in deal to fuel AI and data center growth across eastern states

The Guardian

The #BaseloadParadigm is dead (everywhere). #Coal, #Hydro, #Nuclear, #BioFuels, #Gas ….. All can be decommissioned and replaced with #RenewableEnergy & #BESS. What are you waiting for? @SuperMoosie

#Hydropower is dead, along with the #BaseloadParadigm. #RenewableEnergy & #BESS have replaced them both. Put an end to this #ECOKiller and #RemoveTheDams everywhere.

Lower-than-normal rain and snow have reduced Canada’s hydropower production, raising worries in the industry about the effects of climate change.

The New York Times

The #NYTimes remains so very clueless on everything #Energy. This piece on #batteries (#BESS, #LDES ..) is another example.
A few missing #facts to consider;

1/ The #NewGrid is an inter-connected network of batteries (including #residential & #communityenergy).
2/ Batteries charge during the day using #RenewableEnergy sources. They drain at night servicing the #grid.
3/ The #BaseloadParadigm is dead! The faster that we decommission the #OldGrid the better.

They’re delivering solar power after dark in California and helping to stabilize grids in other states. And the technology is expanding rapidly.

The New York Times

The destructive behaviors of #DigitalGrifters know no bounds. #FakeAI is merely a symptom, not an #endstate.
The #BaseloadParadigm is dead. Move on.

This is why the #BaseloadParadigm is dead. The #NewGrid is #BESS - #LDES with #RenewableEnergy feeding it. #Nuclear & #Hydro are obsolete and no longer needed. It's time to retire all of them. #Decarbonization #Electrification #ECOEthics. @unnameduser

This is what the #NewGrid was designed to do. Interconnected #BESS with #Renewables behind it. Charge and Serve Load during the day; Discharge to serve the Load during the night. The #BaseloadParadigm is officially dead.
