An alternate strategy which I actually think has excellent potential is to build high energy use industrial plants that are only run during peak renewable energy production. One would then view the idle time cost of the plant as the cost of a battery.

For example make electric powered cement plants where the lime roasting phase only occurs as a peaking cycle. The result would be essentially carbon neutral production of cement to boot.
