it's a question if we can wait for grid scale energy storage being viable before we cook ourselves.

Given the average time to build one single nuclear power plant, you should consider whether we have time to finish construction of one before we cook ourselves.

I would not put all my money on just one solution. I don't know how many years away grid scale storage is. I hope it's 1 year, I expect it's a decade or more.

Besides, we had 6 consecutive weeks country wide harsh winter this year. Storing it over night, or over a few days of mild winds is feasible. 6 weeks of little to no sun, mild winds and high demand is eyepopping.
