Of course the wind dies suddenly and can die everywhere. Whether it is predictable enough to efficiently use gas to replace it is an open question. Gas will be about 35% running as demand response, and 55% or more used for constant baseload.

If you are implying the "won't die everywhere" means the current grid can meet the demand you are wrong, and the current grid will never do that, other than the case of wind exporting areas with lines built to constantly export the power.

Suffice to say you are going to use your truck battery for emergencies only because utilities will turn on fossil when the wind dies.

“If you are implying “

My sentence was a straight- forward statement of fact. Nothing implies.

One sentence. Don’t excerpt from it and try to give give those three words any implication.
