The size of the storage problem is not well understood by most. The world production of batteries is insufficient to power germany with 100% renewables.

A possible solution is changing consumption patterns (in jargon known as demand-response). This runs into 2 issues: (1) people need to change their behaviour, with they wont. (2) You handicap your economy, to the benefits of countries that do not care about emissions. With a good chance that the net result is more emissions.
