We can start worrying about storage once we reach 60-80% renewable and just keep using fossil fuels as backup. Nuclear doesn't replace storage (at least not if you don't want to run your nuclear plants at like half capacity)

In my market, we're already at fractions of renewable where prices go negative > 20% of daylight hours (doubled in last year), and still produce lots of CO2 in late afternoon. I think the time to start worrying seriously about storage is now or in the past.
