Okay, so you've ignored all my points about subsidies. And now you're angling towards 'baseload' as if it's something that wind and solar can't provide. Your posts started with an emotional tirade against wind.

I smell a nuclear advocate

I'll tear that argument down once you go to it, but until then, I recommend you learn about Electricity storage, which already exists on the grid, and can easily sture and buffer the piddling amount of wind currently on the grid. Then, do some research into the despatchable solar projects that exist.

Start with Lloyd energy graphite storage, then Wizard dissociated amonia storage and lastly, check out NGK's sodium-sulfur batteries, probably the most promising large scale battery kicking around.

Then, if you intend on mentioning nuclear, you'll have to read The Switkowski report or if 294 pages is too much for you to stomach (it's too much for me) try Ian Lowes summary http://www.quarterlyessay.com/qe/pastissues/index.php

If you're going to argue about it'll be a lot more fun if you're better informed.
