Sorry you still do not understand, and likely it is intentional. We will need every energy storage option open to us to replace fossil fuels, there is really no way around that!
Wind power and solar power can produce the most during different part of the day and the year. So those sources can complement each other. There is also for example concentrated solar power with thermal storage, hydropower and biofuel power that can produce electricity on demand. There are also great advancement in for example battery, thermal and pump hydro storage.

Also there will be a great demand for hydrogen in many areas to replace fossil fuels. There the production of hydrogen can be ramp up when the supply of cheap renewable is high and be stored for use when the supply is low.

So I can't see why the inefficient fuel you propose will be a vital part in the transiton towards hundred percent renewable energy.
