This is definitely overstating its case. The problem I've seen isn't so much that there isn't research taking into account problems like this, it's that research which ignores the hard parts of the problem and comes to the conclusion that switching to green energy would be easy if only governments stopped dragging their feet gets picked up by the media and pushed into the public's perception of what science and the experts say is possible, making it seem like the only reason that governments aren't swiching faster is because they're in the pockets of big fossil fuel. In particular, there's been a lot of work done here in the UK on switching these voltage and frequency control services over from fossil fuels to other, renewable sources that's public but not widely known about. Meanwhile, the voting public think that the government has literally done nothing and isn't even trying because all that gets media coverage is overly-optimistic claims based on ignoring the hard parts of the problem and attempts to spin anything they're not doing (like onshore wind and large-scale solar) as the solution and anything they are doing (offshore wind, hydrogen, etc) as stupid.
