From TFA: "...to build new wind and solar farms equipped with storage systems "
Right, because writing this sentence makes the technology exist.
Plus stuff like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricit..., in use for well over a century.
Sorry to thread jack, but- important question: how are people reading Bloomberg now that they shut down incognito mode as of this week? Disabling Javascript doesn't seem to work either. I'm using Outline for the time being, but it's slow and annoying, and it won't load any longforms that contain multiple pictures or graphs. Anyone else have a better solution?
Works fine when I use the uMatrix add-on to disable cookies and JavaScript. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/umatrix https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/umatrix/ogfcmafjal...

Just how reliable are we talking? The odds of being unable to fully service demand for even a single day should be really, really low for infrastructure like electrical or water supply.
Reliable enough to say "Wind will provide at least this much power , even on a "non-windy" day. Also, keep in mind that wind is much, much steadier 200 feet in the air than it is on the ground, where it's subject to all sorts of disruptions and irregularities.
That pretty much means nothing. How close is that guaranteed minimum to the maximum deliverable or expected daily average power?
