1. A system for continuously generating baseload electrical energy and transmitting the generated electrical energy to a transmission grid, comprising:

  • a primary generator for continuously generating a primary energy output, said primary generator operable on a continuous non-intermittent basis, said primary generator having a primary fuel supply comprising a single form of fuel derived exclusively from renewable resources, said primary fuel capable of enabling continuous operation of said primary generator using only said primary fuel, and means for continuously supplying said primary fuel for generating said primary output continuously;

    a secondary generator providing a secondary output, said secondary generator having a fuel supply derived exclusively from renewable resources, said secondary output providing as available electrical and thermal energy for substituting and supplementing the electrical energy output of said primary generator, and supplying as available a second form of fuel for supplementing the supply requirement of said primary fuel for said primary generator;

    switch means coupled to said primary and said secondary generators and to said transmission grid for enabling the continuous generation and delivery of electric energy at baseload levels, the operation of said switch means configured to optimally reduce the consumption of said primary fuel in said primary generator in favor of the application to the system of the output of said secondary generator, the combination thereby yielding at minimum a continuous total electric energy output at baseload level; and

    ,means coupling said total electrical energy output to the transmission grid.
