It may not be the answer, but it is the current reality. If we want more renewable power right now, it needs to be profitable.

You can wish it’s different, we all do. But reality is what it is, so that’s why you should care :).

Because that’s what makes companies invest in renewables. If it’s not profitable, no new investments, and our world goes to shit (even more).

That’s also a pretty naive take on it.

First of all, you can indeed shut of the renewables easily. But that means that adding renewables to the grid is even less profitable, making renewables less desired to be built.

Hence in for example Germany a law was passed that prevented renewables being shut down in favor of worse energy sources, but that then leads to the issue we mention here.

It’s a tricky situation with renewables. But on the other hand, society is slowly adapting to using them & improving the infrastructure to handle such issues, so we’ll get there eventually :).
