In all of this, we need diversity. Diversity of generation sources (solar, wind, tidal, etc). Diversity of storage (Chemical batteries, compressed air batteries, pumped hydro, etc). Each will have different sweet spots; cost vs reaction time vs capacity vs efficiency.

Try not to dismiss a technology just because it's not the whole solution. Nothing ever is. They all contribute a part to the big picture.
