Well if that's actually the functioning case, they are investing their effort in the wrong place. They don't need energy production, they need storage.
As far as your comment amount solar, we do have solutions that exist. Energy companies just need to actually get off their asses and work them into the grids.

Hydrogen production through electrolysis? Or something else?
