Renewable most of the time allows to keep reserves and use them when necessary.

Also the renewable story is not just solar and wind but also short term energy storage.

The dependency to Russian gas is only 30%. Adding more thermal solar energy on roofs and bigger heat water storage is relatively easy to achieve.

Of course Germany should have pushed renewable even further and we did not. It's frustrating to see so little solar panels in cities.

What are those reserves? How are they supposed to work? Can you store enough reserves to power the town?

Oil and gas reserves.

They are tanks.

If you use solar heat to support your oil or gas, you will be able to reduce your fossil fuel consumption noticable
