it's already way too expensive.

If you don't account for the storage problem, renewables look like a cheap solution, indeed. And you end up with renewables + huge reliance on fossil fuel.

This is an ideal scenario for the fossil industry.

But storage is getting cheaper and cheaper as we move further into renewables. The storage problem is not unfixable, it's being solved just like the gas station and road paving problem was solved during the automobile revolution. The beginning of something is always messy, problems and mistakes happen. But we are a clever species and we are working on it. Fuck these men who want to keep burning our planet, I won't be discouraged.
