So many things are wrong with this I dont know where to start!   But just to pick one: It seems ( oh horror) that you cant store a weeks worth of wind output as hydrogenor in batteries  without reguiring   a vast amount of bulky storage capacity . But whoever said we would need to?   Variable inputs can be dealt with like variable demand already is , by backups, frequency shifting, and soon  interactive  demand management , plus a bit of storage and imports via a supergrid.
