Windmills and solar panels are useless for the same reason. - there is no storage able to meet the intermittency problem.

 I don't know why you are talking of that in this Linux group, but for your information, we have an island that goes with renewable energy for months, not touching the fueled generators.

But it still touches the fuelled generators.
 And its a very small island, and it uses pumped storage because it has hills,
 Try that in Holland...
 And it isn't as green as you think. Dig deeper into the actual statistics
 "The longest it’s powered up the whole island is 25 consecutive days, before the back-up diesel engine had to step in"
 That is not 'for months'.

 Just google deeper and you will find the months.

Yes, certainly there are occasions when it doesn't work, it is early days. You just can not say that conclusively "it is impossible to do".
 

You yourself have shown that it is impossible to do.

Your example proves my case.

No one has done it yet, nor its it likely they ever will, unless its a tiny island with lots of hydro power.

And the cost of that attempt was insane.

This is the truth! We currently do not have the technology, so it would be refreshing if the EU socialist nobility could stop pissing away our money. But that's not likely to happen any time soon. I am happy that the UK left, and I do hope that after Starmer has failed, that the UK can work to become the financial power house of the world again.
