@Jerry

Much of that sounds incorrect. However, I think you did hit on one good point.

"Now at this stage I'm sure that various apologists will weigh in with 'averaging over a power network' However, the reality is that unless you have a continental scale power system with highly efficient transmission system".

That is exactly what is needed, a continental super grid would be much better suited to balancing loads. I doubt that such a system would be as impractical as one might at first think.
