Not sure how I got lumped into the renewables could do the whole job crowd.  
The point was the molten salt solar technique is a possible nice contribution 
to making a renewable less intermittent.  Speaking of molten salt, molten salt 
reactors designed at MIT are less than 1/2 the cost of our conventional 
reactors and much safer.  Doubt there is much political will to fund them as a 
partial interim solution however.

Since you're quoting IEEE I'll give you this link

These Google engineers determined that switching entirely to renewables was 
simply not doable using any kind of technology that we currently have.

Without perfect synchronous supply those in OZ will be as mad as a cut snake 
and may reject increasing supply of renewables due to blackouts when the system 
gets stressed. The Hot Salt solution looks intriguing as one way to mitigate 
intermittent generation.
