That's like saying supermarkets "introduce volatility" because they aren't open 24/7 like some convenience stores. Of course prices will increase when the number of vendor decreases (e.g not sunny and not windy), like it always does in liquid markets. What you are saying is that electricity shouldn't be treated as a commodity sold on an open market and instead should be regulated and subsidized by states. But that's what got us into this mess. If things like CO2 pollution had been accurately factored into prices, more people would have biked to work, installed solar panels, and invested in better home insulation. I live in a small apartment with district heating and my electricity bill is consequently low. I don't want to subsidize nuclear power just so that those who live in large electricity-heated villas should get lower electricity bills.
