You know you can just restrict output when there’s too much renewable energy? As it’s so cheap, this isn’t an issue, the issue in Germany is a regulatory problem they have got themselves in which is understandable given this is a new technology. Having wider inter connectivity of grids will help reduce these occasions too. And the major wind developers are looking into things like pumped storage, and electrolysis of water into hydrogen etc. Having too much energy isn’t the issue we’re facing right now, it’s being too dependent on fossil fuels. Less than 10% of energy worldwide comes from wind and solar - why are you worrying about the world not being able to be 100% renewable? By the time we get even halfway close, technology will have developed to a point that’s hard to foresee now. It’ll be ok to use up some natural gas for energy for example, especially if the carbon is captured and stored. Plus we have so many great natural carbon capturers like trees as it is. I don’t think it’s the case that proponents are withholding these problems, I just don’t think they are as big of an issue as you suggest, and they are categorically not as big of an issue as climate change.
