The problem is not storage at all. Power producers do not “store” power for later use! They just use fuel to produce it. Excess solar and wind could produce “fuel” for fuel cells when the Sun and wind are not available. Instead the mentality is shut down wind and solar so as to not overload the grid. A waste of available resource that could produce the “fuel.” We need storage is based on a fossil fuel paradigm not 21st century technology.
