The base load argument doesn't hold water any more - not when there are places which are progressing towards being totally free of base load. Eg. South Australia is already nearly all renewable power with in-fill from batteries and transient gas power when needed. They're still currently getting some base load from other states but it's small and gradually being phased out.
