Good news. Now we need to deploy more grid scale batteries or other storage. We have the technology (just as we do for electric vehicles). It just needs scaling up and that's now a political/economics problem. Solar doesn't show on the UK grid stats [^0] but it does on the French one ([^0]/france). There's an app that shows what this means in terms of CO2e [^1]. I wrote a piece on electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cells recently [^2]. Another option could be to synthesize methane [^3] using the Sabatier reaction (as NASA does on the ISS [^4]). If this is burnt with CCS (underground storage or to grow plants in greenhouses) then it would remove carbon from the atmosphere.
