Even if you think everything shuts down at night, how can you think busy consumption days are highly correlated with the windiest & sunniest & waviest days?

Renewables are great, let's do more of that too, but it's patchy supply, and yes demand is patchy, but they don't match - so you need storage too, and that problem is eased by having non-patchy (coal, gas, nuclear) supply for the lesser more constant load demanded.
