Agreed. It's framed incorrectly, but the real problem is the "duck curve," the time disparity between peak generation and peak consumption. Pumped hydro, battery storage, electrolysis, and mechanical storage are all options, but each has its own constraints. Ultimately, though, it's an engineering problem with viable solutions. We just need the political will for the investment.
