You are spreading misinformation. Base load is hardly a dead horse. Batteries might eventually solve that problem, but so far no country has deployed significant amounts of battery storage, let alone done so at a cost that would allow for heavy industrial uses. Until battery storage is proven to work on real power grids, nuclear power remains the only viable option to deliver reliable base load.
Hydrogen gas turbines are also a viable option for that and they have proven to run on real power grids, we will need hydrogen infrastructure not for cars but for steel manufacturing and turbines.
Cool. Let us know when someone has grid scale hydrogen production, storage, and generation actually working at scale and is able to report on real world costs.
