Discharge of a load capacitor through a cascode

That article is crap, and you should probably forget you ever saw it. Besides the fact that it's totally wrong, as you've discovered, it's full of half-truths that cultivate an incorrect understanding of how electrical phenomena actually work.

The plate on the capacitor that attaches to the negative terminal of the battery accepts electrons that the battery is producing.

wrong. Batteries don't produce electrons. In fact, nothing in your circuit produces electrons. As far as physicists have been able to demonstrate, charge is never created nor destroyed. A physicist can tell you how to make an electron by assembling more fundamental particles, but unless your circuit includes a particle accelerator or operates inside a star, there won't be any relevant electron creation or destruction in your circuit. Batteries pump electrons. They don't produce them.

In the first few paragraphs, that article uses the word charge in several senses. An experienced engineer can distinguish the senses by context, but the novice is more likely to confuse them. Go read Bill Beaty to immunize yourself against this misconception.

The bulb will get progressively dimmer and finally go out once the capacitor reaches its capacity.

Not exactly true. The bulb will go out once the voltage across the capacitor is equal to the battery voltage. When this happens, there can be no voltage across the bulb, and thus no current, thus no light. I don't know what they mean by capacity in this sense, but it seems to me that they are phrasing it this way to avoid explaining how capacitors actually work. You might define a capacitor's "capacity" any number of ways, but they haven't defined it at all. This kind of half-thinking isn't going to help you understand once you figure out that the explanation is incomplete.

A capacitor's storage potential, or capacitance, is measured in units called farads.

If you take "capacity" and "storage potential" as synonymous, as anyone would naturally do, this is wrong and self-contradictory. If this were true, then we could re-write the previous statement as

The bulb will get progressively dimmer and finally go out once the capacitor reaches its capacitance

...which is totally bogus. Ordinary capacitors don't change capacitance under normal operation conditions. Again, the problem here is they haven't fully defined the underlying concepts. If capacitance is a capacitor's storage potential, then what is it storing?.

A 1-farad capacitor can store one coulomb (coo-lomb) of charge at 1 volt.

Here, they try to define the stuff that the capacitor is storing, but it hardly makes sense. The problem is if you use words like "capacity", this implies there is some sort of "full" or "at capacity". But, there is no concept for an ideal capacitor. If you push 1C of charge through a 1F capacitor, the capacitor will have a voltage of 1V. For 2C, you get 2V, and 1000C gets you 1000V. You can push 1000C through a 0.5F capacitor also, but it will then be at 2000V. An ideal capacitor is never full, and you can push charge through it forever and it will never be "full". That's not a capacity, it's the ratio of charge to voltage, which is evident in the definition of farad (a farad is a coulomb per volt):

$$ F = \frac{C}{V} $$

Real capacitors, incidentally, have a maximum voltage, which if exceeded will damage or destroy the capacitor. So in this sense, a capacitor can be "full" and can have a "capacity". But, this is not how this article is using the word.

I could probably write an entire article on the problems with that article, but hopefully you get the idea. Please wipe your memory of what that article has said, and seek a more sound explanation.

In the ideal sense, that capacitor will hold its charge for a very long time because of the high input impedance of the FET input opamp, and slowly leak to ground. In reality, the circuit probably isn't very useful, as the bias current from the positive input of the amplfier has nowhere to go but that capacitor, so your amplifier output will probably eventually saturate at the positive or negative rail, depending on the direction of the bias current.
