There's a point at which the production/consumption geographic mismatch and need to time-shift energy becomes irrelevant because we're overproducing so much that even lossy storage like pumped water or hydrogen becomes cost effective, but I'm not sure where that point is. 130%? 150%?

There’s an even more abundant source of energy storage: simply heat sand or earth. Then use it later to heat something that is cold but needs to be warm, or to generate electricity. Good question about 130% or 150%. Survival is priceless. We could just build solar and wind for 250% and not care.
