Wind, Hydro, and batteries will all contribute to a significant baseload.

The only one of those which is actually baseload is hydro, which is already installed in most of the areas with suitable geography. You can't use wind without storage for electric heat or people will freeze to death.

Batteries are a storage technology, but we're going to be putting the bulk of battery production capacity into electrifying transportation for the foreseeable future.
