    The power grid and stockage capacity aren’t quite ready yet for 100% renewable. There’s already a 5 year backlog (and growing) to connect new renewable projects and it’s only going to get harder to manage as share of intermittent renewable increase.

    Baseload power will be needed for a long time to complement intermittent renewable, better nuclear than coal and gas.
