If you missed it, my point was that claims of unreliables being cheaper than conventional base load generators is not only false, but that it also increases the cost of conventional baseload generation by amortizing their costs over a smaller quantity of generated power.

Since you brought up a different subject; I didn't see where use of conventional generators necessitates a replacement planet. While this sounds like religious dogma I can dismiss outright, I'm always looking to challenge my assumptions.
