Producing electricity when it isn't being used is problematic for the grid. So is producing too little.

Producing electricity when it isn’t needed is only a problem when someone is looking to make money off of it.

I never said it should be. There are plenty of ways to regulate electricity production, storage, and even usage, they just aren't considered "profitable" so are dismissed, overlooked, and or deliberately smeared and destroyed because they threaten those whose profits they would hurt.
