His points are actually somewhat dimwitted.

Simply build enough nuclear power plants to meet daytime requirements.

When the nighttime load is less... bleed off the electricity or divert the steam away from the turbines. It’s not as efficient as only generating electricity when the electricity is needed, but it’s not the impossibility the author claims.

The off peak sale objection is ridiculous. By the time 10 or 15 new nukes are on line, there will be just that many fewer coal and oil plants taken off line.
