FOR a long time now, the term Base Load Power has been misinterpreted, and used incorrectly. Those who support the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Greenhouse Gas Warming Theory have taken the term out of context to describe those large coal fired power plants that in their minds are the largest offenders. They use the word as Baseload, one word, and then attach it to those power plants as a descriptor, Baseload Power Plants, usually also adding the term ‘coal fired’. However, the term is not a one word adjective. It is two words and describes most effectively the actual physical electrical power that is being consumed.
