I mention wind as having similar problems if you read it carefully. Wind suffers from intermittency as well. The wind does not always blow, and like solar, it needs to be oversized if you intend to run on it without dispatchable power. Batteries need to be similarly sized. In the UK, wind is paid more to not deliver electricity than to deliver it. Wind power is vulnerable to storms that render them useless, both temporarily (ice and snow as well as generally lousy planning) and permanently (hurricanes and tornadoes) Dispatchable power is the key to any grid, so that the grid can always supply what is needed.

Overall, it is interesting that wind gets less subsidy (48%) than fossil fuels (average of 61.25%). Pg 98 “Shorting the Grid”.
Nuclear: 10% capacity payment.
Natural gas-combined cycle: 40% capacity + ancillary payments
Steam turbine coal: 45% capacity + ancillary payments
Natural gas-oil steam: 80% capacity + ancillary payments
Natural gas-oil gas turbine: 80% capacity + ancillary payments
Wind: 48% capacity + PTC/REC payments (PTC = Production Tax Credit)
