We need to change how power distribution works. That's just the point. There are easy ways to store power that's generated by day. And since we don't just focus on one single renewable energy source, it's not even half as bad as you're drawing the picture here.

Edit: since this is my only comment in here, I also want to point out that the chart is rising last year, I think/hope that it will continue rising. (Until CDU steps in again because people think "Hey there last years were so terrible, everything got more pricy and so on, that's definitely on SPD, green, FDP, not just a random situation in the Ukraine" and vote for them..)
