As long as you don't care when the electricity is produced

Storage is a solvable problem. Whereas we don't have the resources to power the world with nuclear plants.

The second half if most important. It doesn’t produce enough electricity. Renewables are getting cheaper and cheaper and are taking up the mantle to take over majority of power production in some nations. But it is harder to monetize and can be democratized and made pretty easily. It’s like weed. It can be taken away from bigger producers and therefore there is significant push back/lobbying against it.
