No, it's worst for the more expensive, capital intense sources.
Gas is expensive but not capital intense. An idled plant doesnt lose too much because fuel costs dominate. Solar/wind is capital intense but not expensive - idling is cheap if the whole thing is cheap.
Nuclear power is capital intense and expensive. Idling burns through a lot of cash.
