You write: "...start to talk about energy storage, even though solar and wind rarely, if ever, produce surplus energy worthy of industrial facilities to back them up."

And you're absolutely correct, we need a LOT more solar, wind, and nuclear if we ever hope to get to the point where we can not only stop using fossil fuels, but also that we have the power we need to store and transport for vehicles and other uses that can't connect to a wired grid.
