My only comment about not being able to use renewable source as "base loads" is that adding storage to the renewable source makes it accessible when the sun isn't shining, or the wind isn't blowing. And combining methods (solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, and power storage) means that when any one is not available, the others are.
Also: If every home could produce some of its own power, using renewable sources, and store some of that power for use later, the country's power needs would not be so critical, and we might not need nuclear plants (or more of any other plants, for that matter) to provide a base load.
