Gas is completely dispatchable and makes up such a huge % of our energy that we should right now just be producing the maximum number of green GWh ASAP at the minimum cost and time and put off worrying about intermittency.
If we can get to the point where we are routinely overproducing from solar and wind and turning off the gas then yea we should ramp up storage. We will see it coming years away though.
China is ahead of the curve on this having just completed a 40GWh 3.6GW pumped storage battery.
Nuclear power would also need a lot of this if we were to rely upon it 100% since it is not dispatchable.
