Lots of nuclear trolls/shrills.
Not all of them are real people.
Here in Australia, we have lots of mainly uncontrolled rooftop solar.
The sun shines and The commercial solar farms get pushed out.
The constant on "baseload" coal plants lose money with negative prices. They have started to learn to dance. Like the UK coal plants. Ramping their output up and down. But they have their limits. No longer baseload.

@notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com So we have a solution. Give away 3 hours of electricity for free in the middle of the day. When we have the most amount of negative prices and spare solar capacity. Perfect for charging evs. Or shifting loads away form peak. Also a big boom in home batteries is also seeing demand reduction in evening peaks. Charge own batteries, rather then export, then use your own electricity in peak. Or sell it back to the grid when it is needed. https://reneweconomy.com.au/the-hours-the-market-wants-back-free-daytime-power-or-a-fix-for-solar-and-wind-curtailment/
