with the incredible advancements in solar and wind it’s no longer the best option.

I haven’t heard of any advancement that makes solar generate energy when the sun doesn’t shine and wind generate energy when the wind isn’t blowing.

The wind is always blowing somewhere and overproduction is cheaper than batteries

Overproduction is how you get blackouts from damaging the grid

Lol, just dump energy into resistors. Or desync two generators.

You can’t overproduce electricity. You have to match the load.

This is wrong. Right now, europe is experiencing high pressure and doesn’t have any wind. Check this out its map that shows you how much wind is being produced right now! Can you provide a source that says " the wind is always blowing somewhere" or is it just a platitude?

You haven’t heard of any advancements in energy storage at all?

Not that we need them, the best energy storage is old AF and excellent

it has got cheaper, but it has to get cheap enough that you can buy enough batteries with the difference. I’m not sure it has become that cheap. Maybe these sodium battery things will get developed.
