Will be fantastic when we have all those hydrogen production plants who only run with 30% utilization because they only make sense when you massively overproduce renewables.

To "massively overproduce" renewables is cheap. Build more, get more, sell the overproduction.

No it actually isn't really.

You will have to pay to get ride of it in many places. Chemical plants want reliable electricity to have reliable production.

Hint: there is no cost to disposing of excess solar and wind energy.

When you produce chemicals yourself, you may operate on a schedule of your own choosing.
