First of all, you can indeed shut of the renewables easily. But that means that adding renewables to the grid is even less profitable, making renewables less desired to be built.
Hence in for example Germany a law was passed that prevented renewables being shut down in favor of worse energy sources, but that then leads to the issue we mention here.
It’s a tricky situation with renewables. But on the other hand, society is slowly adapting to using them & improving the infrastructure to handle such issues, so we’ll get there eventually :).
That’s also a pretty naive take on it.

I don’t understand why it’s profitability is my concern. Or anyones.
sounds like a great argument for nationalization.
Its not tricky, energy shouldn’t be privatized.
