#Baseload
The motion comes along with a background paper on reasons we think the Green Party is wrong to oppose nuclear energy. Carbon-free, reliable, baseload power should not be demonised in the face of the climate crisis.

Will the lights go out if we don't have baseload? "No, absolutely not," says AEMO
"it continues to be that that least cost mix is renewable generation, connected with networks firmed by storage and backed by gas,”
NOT coal NOT nuclear take note Liberal Nationals

Baseload is an idea that came about when there was only monolithic thermal generation. It's completely outdated now.

Future focused on bulk renewables – wind and solar – supported by storage, and some peaking gas fall-back.

Ja ok, maar dat zijn verschillende discussies door mekaar natuurlijk. Gascentrales hebben nog wel hun nut in een energiemix omdat ze bijzonder flexibel zijn, maar voor baseload kijken we beter naar hernieuwbaar en nucleair. Maar goed, het "beleid" trekt al zolang ik in de sector werk op niks.

Česko jede na vlně odporu k #EUETS. Jenže Češi si díky přímému sousedství s Německem užijí v roce 2026 levnější ceny elektřiny (úroveň baseload 1Y) než Poláci, Slováci, Maďaři, Italové, Švýcaři, Chorvati, Slovinci, Rumuni i Bulhaři… Jen rozdíl mezi Poláky a Čechy je cca 10… […]

Batteries plus renewables will make baseload power plants such as nuclear uneconomical to run, pointless even. Such systems can also be deployed at speed unlike nuclear.

I’m not anti nuclear but it makes you think that building any is a waste of time especially if sodium batteries take off.

Which is why the future of these things (if any) in a renewable dominated future is peaker plants and emergencies. Keeping a hospital running in a blackout, not like, doing baseload

If there is a faster coal decline that risks catching Australia off-guard, then the fossil-fuel lobby is to blame. "Divestment in coal" has been written on the wall for decades. The lobby's +LNP's denialism has negated any rational transition to baseload renewables

Faster coal decline risks catching Australia off-guard - Michael West
Demand for Australian coal exports might dry up faster than first thought, underscoring the need for rapid action to help mining communities prepare.

📊 🎯 Global policy is quietly re-rating nuclear from “option” to “infrastructure,” setting up a structural bid for baseload power and uranium through 2025 and beyond.

U.S. DOE is signaling federal financing for up to 10 new reactors, backed by low-interest LPO loans and IRA-driven 30% ITC (1/4)

3/5 The US will benefit from reliable, ultimately affordable, baseload fusion energy as soon as possible. This new national effort is in hand with the department’s ambitious Genesis Mission, bringing AI and fusion together as key technologies that’ll underpin the global economy for generations.

Baseload, flexible, intermittent, each source plays a different role, and demand keeps rising. A balanced mix is the only way to keep the lights on without price spikes. Nuclear and geothermal just happen to provide the steady clean part of that mix.
December 11, 2025 at 1:29 PM
Exactly, you need firm, clean power in the mix if you want something that works 24/7. Renewables plus stable baseload is what actually keeps systems reliable. Every country that plans long-term ends up using both.

QLD State government has canceleld thier renewable energy targets. They are so afraid of ever doing anything innovative or new, what cowards.

There's nothing wrong with solar energy on the ground. We've been doing it for a long time, and it's plenty efficacious. It's the lowest-cost source of electricity, even with batteries to make it a baseload power source.
December 11, 2025 at 10:57 AM
Really? What carbon free baseload power source which operates 24x7 to maintain grid stability do you recommend?

If not nuclear or geothermal?

And can be deployed effectively on a wide scale?

Solar and wind are intermittent, and therefore need to be backed up with reliable power generation.

The failure to end North Sea oil and gas production is a conscious choice that results in triple prices for electricity compared to the US.

Because renewable energy such as wind and solar require 24x7 baseload peaker plants to maintain the grid.

The only solution to lower prices is nuclear/ geo

Exploring fusion is important, absolutely, but it doesn’t remove the immediate need for reliable baseload power. Germany still imports nuclear electricity because demand doesn’t wait for future tech. It makes sense to advance fusion while also keeping proven clean power on the table.

Energy security starts with clean, steady baseload and nuclear is the only source that can support Colorado year round. Good to see nuclear included in the plan.

China adds solar fast, but it’s nuclear that carries their baseload and keeps emissions down at night and in winter. You can’t run a country on weather, you run it on energy that shows up every hour.
