We still need something which can make sure we have enough energy for a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkelflaute, but at least looking at all of Europe that seems to be manageable with existing energy storage techniques (individual countries have longer Dunkelflaute, but if e.g. there's one only in Germany we can just import from Italy and vice versa)

(German wiki has more numbers)
