Theory and reality are likely to be different in the longer term.In the short term renewables will be spent as energy additions, while FFs fill the energy gap.In the longer term, and as renewables get successively cheaper, there will be excess renewables energy. Because the excess energy costs nothing (ie no fuel costs), and would otherwise be wasted, then it makes sense to use this "free" energy to produce hydrogen gas. In fact, if a nation like Australia did the maths properly it has the ability to work out how much wind and solar would be required to generate total annual energy needs, then add a hydrogen capacity build from additional wind/solar to produce enough hydrogen to fill all intermittency issues. And it can easily go beyond that to produce hydrogen for export.
