There is no country using hydrogen for large-scale storage of even 1% of their storage needs (maybe 0.01% but I'm being generous). And for batteries it's much less than that. Of course you can use renewables for even 100% of your energy needs on a good day. But you will need either nuclear, hydro, coal or gas if you don't want interruptions.

"They have not" does not mean "they cannot". Until recently batteries were just way too expensive, yet now we are building the factories to make the batteries as fast as we can. Likewise, we have not generally used hydrogen because it isn't as convenient as methane, but if e.g. you think your major gas supplier is a warmonger and you want to stop any money going their way, hydrogen is really easy to make.
