Wind Replacing Fossil Fuel "baseload Power"

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration,
. . . wind power in the Southwest Power Pool (SPP)
. . . . . . all of Kansas and Oklahoma, plus parts of
. . . . . . New Mexico,
. . . . . . Texas,
. . . . . . Arkansas,
. . . . . . Louisiana,
. . . . . . Missouri and
. . . . . . Nebraska -- has led to a steady reduction in,
. . . the use of baseload capacity in the past 3 years.

What’s especially remarkable about what’s happening,
. . . in the Southwest Power Pool is that
. . . baseload has been falling even as demand for energy has been rising
. . . in the region.
