Furthermore, since the sun doesn't always shine and storage is very messy and expensive, you will ALWAYS HAVE TO BUILD THE SAME NUMBER OF *REAL* POWER PLANTS to get reliable power.

That's an overstatement. Peak periods, where we need all the capacity we can get, are when it is the hottest--in other words, when the sun is out and air conditioners are working overtime. Which is also when solar systems are at or near peak.
