Even when it will be enough when renewables work at 100% it won't be enough if they give 8% of their max output because it's not that windy today.

We should have at least 10 times the capacity in renewables than we actually need to have plenty on bad days (and nights).

I agree, and that won't happen until we go 100% renewables, but we can't do that without a storage, and we don't have storage, but we can go 1000% renewables instead because that's the technology we have and already it is the cheapest way of making energy. And I think next crypto boom could put us on trajectory to achieve that by utilizing every bit of energy we'll overproduce and by being a mechanism to funnel money from the pockets of Wallstreet into renewable energy production investments.
