> grid storage favors sola

In what way?

> Solar can be placed much closer to consumption, literally on the roof of the consumer. Wind exists in large farms away from cities.

You still need the grid to exist, so 100 miles one way or the other doesn't affect cost very much.

> Then, when the nimby people are no longer in power, we bring back wind.

NIMBY never goes away. There are some situations where you don't want to burn up your political capital fighting them, but in general if you can get a project through then do it.
