alt Hacker News> The main problem of renewables is that it is intermittent and that fact remains to be solved.
It is solved.
Grid-scale batteries are being mass-produced today.
It will continue to get even better, but it is reasonably well solved even now.

This sounds like my friend Mick who developed a gambling habit, but assured me that his method was flawless. If you lose, double your bet next time to cover the loss. If you lose that one, double it again. You can't keep on losing.

No it is not solved. Grid-scale batteries are absolutely not being mass-produced today. Let's stick to the truth here.
I would LOVE for this to be the case, however. Adding this again so that I am not lumped together with the coal thumpers.
What exists, TO BE BUILT that is, is battery farms, sure, but they are nowhere nere big enough. They are nowhere nere close enough to compensate the factor applied to wind farm energy generation. But let's hope good progress can be made in the accumulation aspect of intermittent energy production.
