You are 100% correct, when renewable energies are generated,
. . . they do NOT exactly complement each other in Time or Amount,
. . . especially to the Time or Amount the are needed for consumption.

What we don't have is significant energy storage And that's what we need. Big time.
Again, I couldn't agree with you more,
. . . todays renewable electrical storage,
. . . between wind and solar, is almost
. . . 100% pumped hydro.
Prices of both Batteries, Charges/Inverters and
. . . balance of systems are coming down,
. . . But, I think renewable synergies may produce the biggest surprise's.
French President Francois Hollande's surprise announcement of a
. . . joint French-German cabinet meeting on Feb. 19 in Paris,
. . . will discuss ways in which the 2 nations can cooperate in renewable energy, and
. . . would also discuss
. . . . . . smart grids,
. . . . . . energy efficiency and
. . . . . . storage.
Hollande wants French and German energy firms to pool their capacities
. . . in the way Airbus brought together engineering and production skills
. . . from the two countries.
