> The only solution to this problem are seasonal storage
No one will deploy seasonal storage, so the point is moot. NG backup works today, and will continue working into the indefinite future.
Chemical batteries are the most expensive of many storage alternatives, with advantages for very short-term use. Lithium is a poor choice for utility requirements, so its supply is irrelevant.
There is no place for nukes, which cost radically more than all other alternatives, most especially for only intermittent use.
