I'm sure people in the space are well aware of intermittency issues. I think the interested public isn't well aware of it. Many people seem to think batteries solve the problem, and it's just Big Oil and Big Coal in the way. I'm not despairing that it can't be done. I just think people who say it's a solved problem are undercutting the challenge, and hand-waving away serious problems with the 100% intermittent renewable route while proclaiming confidently that other massive low-carbon energy sources aren't desired or needed. Full disclosure: I'm a nuclear proponent. I know we can decarbonize rapidly; it's been done at scale in small regional areas many times.
