This guy is an idiot. Nuclear power can be accelerated and decelarated it just takes more time. We aren’t talking about a Ferarri here we are talking about something that can generate the output of a 1000 Ferarris. You use peaking plants for instantaneous unexpected changes.
Parts of it are contained in the above messages, so to put the ideas together:
Build nuke plants for the 40% load that exists during night time hours.
Just think of how much power that would amount to!!! Unreal.
Then offer industry cut rates, real low ball cut rates providing they use the power at night.
As more industries come on line, add the required Nuke plants to supply them. That would make available more nuke power for the peak periods.
Then use the coal fired plants to meet peak loads.
I don't know that this will save oil, as I am not sure how much oil is used in the generation of power. It was my impression that most are either coal or gas with gas being used mostly because it is assumed to be cleaner.
