I think there are two tracts to this discussion: industrial and residential energy.
Solar + Storage 100% can replace residential power usage. Ask anyone with a home battery and solar. Density is obviously a factor, but seems straight forward to solve.
Industrial energy usage, I think it’s seperate, but also is very moveable. Ie we can change how industry works to surge production at peak solar and wind, and then reduce when that power is not available.
Plus battery storage still works here (Not just lithium either, hydro, thermal, compressed a air, gravity store).
Where exactly do you see “unpredictable” energy problems that storage or shifting doesn’t solve?
