agree. see my recent paper on gas and intermittency...https://itif.org/publications/2024/09/30/why-wind-and-solar-need-natural-gas-realistic-approach-to-variability/
Batteries are improving, but they are along way from being able to solve solar/wind's intermittency.
I think they can handle short duration variability - diurnal shifts. But beyond that, not really, though Form's iron-air battery is interesting. In general, we will use gas to balance the system for decades to come
Good post. Thank you.
