These are some very tired arguments around the high low cycles of solar and wind. I don't think anyone really believes that a zero - storage solution is viable

These are some very tired arguments around the high low cycles of solar and wind.
I don't think anyone really believes that a zero - storage solution is viable for anything let alone data centers.
And hopefully in 20 years we're generating fuel from atmospheric carbon, using nuclear more intelligently, and have sane medium term storage options.
But that's the better point of TFA that they missed: trying to clean up data center energy use will spur those advances.
