Amory Lovins claims we can switch entirely to renewable energy without on-grid storage by [ using time-shifting to make demand fit the momentary supply. ]( http://www.engineering.com/ElectronicsDesign/ElectronicsDesignArticles/ArticleID/8272/Is-Storage-Necessary-for-Renewable-Energy.aspx ) We need to be careful to set up these systems so that they don't collect information about what systems we are using. For instance, if the goal is to tell 1/4 of the air conditioning systems in a substantial area to shut off, it isn't necessary to find out which ones happen to be on at the moment. Statistically, the result would be roughly the same if you make the decision based on which houses have such air conditioning.
