power storage is the key issue
The pro-renewable people like to ignore two facts.
Renewables (excluding hyrdro) will remain a niche player (as in less than 5 percent) until grid power storage improves significantly.
If grid power storage were to improve significantly, the biggest beneficiaries would not be renewables but rather coal and nuclear. Overnight, such a breakthrough would make these two baseload power suppliers into cheap peaker plants, thus encouraging more coal and nuclear development.
Pro-renewable have no answer to this. They ignore that there is no grid power storage solution on the horizon, and that such a solution would in fact greatly benefit the two power suppliers they tend to loathe the most.
Hence, irrelevant and ignored.
