>The only problem is variability. It's a way overemphasized problem with a multitude of solutions: * Spot pricing and time shifting demand * Scaling up/down large scale industrial demand (e.g. aluminum smelting) to accommodate * Hydro storage * Gas peakers * Overproducing and developing markets for electricity that's "almost free" at certain times It's not like variability is causing brownouts in countries that rely heavily upon wind either (e.g. Denmark/Germany).
