I do think too battery improvement will mean a major progress.

However, I invite you to visit my country. Pick any date in the year but two months and you'll see: "capacity batteries for solar" are not our problem with solar ;-)

Heh, I'll just extrapolate from my visits to Seattle. I will try to visit next year -- during one of the sunny months.

Actually, I think a lot of the problems facing Europe with renewables are the same in the U.S. Abundant solar and wind available in the south, and no efficient way of transferring the electric power north.
