Am I totally misreading this, then?

" Even in rich countries, small reductions in emissions offer no sign of the real break with the status quo we'd need to upend the iron logic of these three numbers. Germany is one of the only big countries that has actually tried hard to change its energy mix; on one sunny Saturday in late May, that northern-latitude nation generated nearly half its power from solar panels within its borders."

The unsolved problem with solar power (and other renewable energy forms, like windcraft) is that there is currently no efficient way to store it. So on a sunny day in may the numbers might be correct, but on the next day it won't be, and over the year it's still miniscule
