> Storage is a solved problem Why do people just assert things rather than spending five minutes actually looking up some numbers doing arithmetic? Storage systems and theirs costs, discharge rates, cycle endurance, etc: https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/2019/07/f65/Storage%20Cost%20and%20Performance%20Characterization%20Report_Final.pdf https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/2019/07/f65/Stora... What the wind power production rate over time looks like for a country: https://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/ https://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/ Then you can look up country power consumption and wind cost per KWh and half life. Then it's just some arithmetic. You're not helpless consumers of data, you CAN look this up and figure it out. To save you some trouble, the bottom line is that for countries like the UK pure renewables would triple electricity costs. Is that an acceptable price? Maybe.
