Power loss shouldn't matter. Its a chicken and egg problem. It would be trivial in 2022 at a technical level for my electric clothes dryer to "pause" for five minutes mid cycle if a cloud passes over the solar farm. Nobody implements that because its not needed. It can't be implemented because nobody uses it now. We can't have it in the future because we didn't have it in the past. If solar power was "too cheap to meter" I'd use 10 KW to dry my clothes in 30 minutes instead of 60 and I wouldn't care if a cloud interrupted the solar panel and it took an extra five minutes at 35 minutes. But we can't have that because we never had that in the past so we'll never have that. We'll have uninterrupted electric clothes drying until we have no electric clothes drying at all due to catastrophic system collapse. Nobody insulated aluminum refinery crucibles, in fact they worry about cooling. Because nobody ever considered cutting power to a crucible, its now impossible to cut power to a crucible without destroying it. Nobody ever built a battery backed up CNC machine tool, because nobody ever needed to, so flipping the circuit breaker at a machine tool shop will cause thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage. It would be trivial to include circuitry and CAM design models to prevent that but the first guy to spend the money will go out of business because it provides no advantage next quarter. Therefore its impossible to interrupt power to a CNC machine tool without mass destruction therefore solar powered factories are "impossible". Although if someone wanted to, it would be pretty trivial to implement. The load on the grid at midnight for charging cell phones must add up to a nuclear power plant or two. We can't tell those chargers to chill and charge up later if there's a lull in the breeze and advertisers market how fast they charge. So we can't charge phones, or cars, with wind power we must use coal or nuclear. There's no technological reason interrupting the power would matter. This even gets to house or hospital issues. Don't want to lose power during a surgery? Who cares, just make sure the UPS is bigger than the surgery. The batteries should last a long time if they're rarely used. Ditto my TV, I don't care if it runs off battery for five minutes as long as I can't tell the difference. But no TVs can do that right now so they MUST be coal or nuclear powered instead of wind powered. Repeat thousands of times for every device that makes power interruption "impossible". If everything you owned was like your laptop and as long as on average the charge rate was higher than the use rate and the battery was "big enough" then you wouldn't care if the power was out 50% of the time, as long as it was 100% green and "too cheap to meter" the other 50% of the time.
