Base load? Oh you mean the kind of power only the industry needs but wouldn’t be able to pay for if it wouldn’t be shifted towards the public? Don’t try to fool people by just not talking about this little fact.
Solar and small scale power buffering could easily be decentralized for the publics overall power need, including charging and utilizing cars as buffers. A private person isn’t “the base load”… but we all pay for “the base load”.
Base load err… educate yourself nuclear boy.
Apart from that: Your arguments didn’t change, they are still wrong, that’s why “we” stopped listening. You reproduce Industry talking points without checking. (e.g. “bAsE loAD”) like an angry little LLM.
Who needs the power needs to pay for it. Including the waste. I don’t see why I should clean up Google’s micro nuclear waste.
This reply is both unintelligible, and unhinged. You also seem to be berating someone for not knowing what baseload is, while simultaneously showing (I think, it’s hard to tell honestly) that you have no idea what it means.
I don’t berate. He is right, but again I don’t see how the containment of nuclear waste, Google is producing for LLM training for their profits, should be a public concern. Even on a global scale, “base load” is the continuous need of power … so mostly industries. You don’t need Nuclear Power Plants to run street lights and Hospitals, you need them to run steel mills and manufacturing plants.
My point is exactly: Why should the industrial need for reliable power be priced on our bill without a fair share on the profits for society? And this isn’t even touching the impossibility of putting a price tag on something that has to be stored for 1000ns of years.
Unhinged? I just replied in the same tone. He didn’t even reply to any of my points. Come clear, what’s your point?
You need to be on pills.
Base load is the amount of charge that you need in the system to deal with just basic usage. This includes powering your computer so you can post incoherent rents on the internet. Something I assume you think is very important.
Without base load when it’s night and not windy all the power goes out, I assume you would think that was inconvenient even though you are not a mega corporation.
Now rather than trying to deflect answer the question how do we supply fundamental power when the sources are renewable are not operating and don’t say we can store it in batteries because we can’t not at that capacity.
That’s not completely wrong but in parts. I can easily buffer solar energy to cover 80% of my energy needs. You have to understand that most of the base load isn’t “our” power consumption. It’s mostly commercial.
And again. Google training LLMs is not Base-Load and nether deflection. It’s the subject of the Article!
