We have a long emergency to address. It will take decades to build adequate infrastructures.

As it stands wind power is at most a way to save a small quantity of natural gas and coal.

The price you pay for this is greenwashing the use of fossil fuels, deepening the dependence on fossil fuels, it makes it seem like something is being done and allows people to shut off their brains and think the problem has been solved. Unless you've got vast quantities of hydro peaking capacity(e.g. Scandinavia) it won't solve anything, it's a trap.

Without a miraculous power storage medium that's cheap, easy to scale up and uses abundant materials this can't change.

Once the oil dries out, there will be such a thirst for energy that the electricity will not be let go to waste. Someone will find out how to use it regardless of the time of day it is generated.

That's suicide; you don't have time to invent a seat belt seconds before a head on collision.

The scope of this problem is enormous and can't be glossed over. There's always been an enormous profit incentive for producing a cheap, reliable storage medium for electrical power and countless people have tried, but the best we've managed to come up with is the lead-acid battery(dating from 1859) and pumped hydro(circa 1890's).
