For instance, while the wind turbines generate electricity at night when there is low demand, they can be producing hydrogen which can in turn be used to power generators during peak hours.

Also being ignored is the fact that homeowners with installed solar energy systems have battery backup systems storing energy that can collectively contribute to the grid, essentially creating a distributed "baseload" to replace the centralized coal and nuclear boondoggles.
