Yes, it's definitely the 7% wind and solar performing exactly as advertised that is the cause of the issue, not the 35% gas and 10% nuclear which are both having problems.

We should definitely spend our money on a system that will provide 1W of baseload 60-80% of the time and require gas for the rest, rather than a wind+solar+storage system that will provide at least 1 watt 100% of the year and average 2-5W depending on location.
