Wind farms can’t plan to make 100 MW or 150 MW or 50 MW on Tuesday next week if there is no wind.

Nuclear can.

I agree nuclear isn’t dispatchable, natural gas is. But wind is not dispatchable nor is it baseload so making a comparison to nuclear and pretending there is firm energy out of a wind farm on a given day is false to me.

Once again, nobody said it could.
