The process goes something like
Use surplus renewable electricity to split water to get hydrogen.
Run the hydrogen and atmospheric CO2 through a Sabatier reactor and get methane.

Use the nation wide natural gas pipelines to deliver the product to gas turbine generators.
Storage and production largely use existing infrastructure.
