This is conspiracy level misinformation. You can’t do 100% wind+solar with batteries, many countries have tried and failed. Germany and Denmark are great examples of highly industrialized nations with high population density that has tried to do what you’re suggesting, and they’ve proven that it’s a fantasy.
Germany’s energy policy is dogshit and it’s basically committing suicide. It’s great that Germany is finally displacing some of its coal plants but killing your economy in the process is hardly an example of a successful transition to green energy. Good luck with your chemical and mechanical industries on wind and batteries.
German car manufacturing is doing badly partly because they suppressed electrical or even hybrid tech, but also because of high energy prices.
High energy prices are partly caused by an irresponsible energy policy. The war in Ukraine is the other part.
High energy prices also affect Germany’s two other staples, mechanical engineering and chemical engineering. The chemistry sector is flatlining.
For context, chemical separation methods alone account for roughly 20% of industrial energy consumption worldwide, and Germany is a major player in this field. So high energy prices have a very real impact which can not be offset onto the buyers forever - the factories will just relocate and once they’re gone, they won’t easily come back.
Germany has tried no such thing lol. Actually there are appliances for gigantic amounts of battery storage because it’s a simple buy low sell high business case that everybody wants to get into.

Base load is a myth.
Bullshit. Germany and Denmark’s irresponsible energy policies are carried hard by their neighbors.
Wtf are you talking about, we have only just started building out renewables
Who are “we”? Because Scandinavia didn’t just start.
Germany, one of the two countries mentioned

Germany’s economy is doing fine though. Except for car manufacturers, but that’s not due to renewables.
