Wikipedia paints a different picture but I consider that a fair point and I will look into it, thank you.

Can you be more specific about that? I know the figures only for Germany. Here, solar and wind match up almost perfectly (solar excees in the summer, wind excess in the winter) -- we would only need to store energy reserves for about two weeks. Gas tanks capable of storing these amounts already exist, they have been built several decades ago.

This is the first time that I hear power to gas described as vapourware. I'm very interested in that topic, could you give some more details or pointers?

Surely the onus is on whoever is claiming the technology does exist to provide some details of it. I checked Wikipedia though [0] and the world's total installed P2G capacity looks like...less than 100 MW? It's at best one step above vapourware.
