I mean, they would point out that you have a ton of hydro power potential that we don't. I would counter that we were drawing from the battery storage plants we have during that period, which were themselves charged up by the solar plants (since there's no reason to charge a battery off of a gas plant).

How to cheaply store renewables is kind of a trillion-dollar question right now, but I'm sure it will be answered. At the very least, we're good at drilling into things and could make some nice pumped air plants.
