You can do 50% renewables without any storage. The world is pretty far away from that.

Germany, Australia and California say otherwise.

I don't understand what you want to say. Germany is relatively close to 50% renewable electricity without a lot of grid scale storage.

Germany is hovering around 41% renewable electricity, but its primary energy supply is still 78% fossil fuels.

41% is "fairly close" to 50%.
