Yes renewables are baseload. People look up what it actually means, before you repeat this stuff. Quoting directly from the Wikipedia article:
> The base load[1] (also baseload) is the minimum level of demand on an electrical grid over a span of time, for example, one week. This demand can be met by unvarying power plants,[2] dispatchable generation,[3] or by a collection of smaller intermittent energy sources,[4] depending on which approach has the best mix of cost, availability and reliability in any particular market.

Wind and solar are intermittent sources.
