Lots of great points by @BjornLomborg about the inability of batteries to solve the intermittency problems of solar+wind. Another point: To actually replace fossil fuels you'd also need electricity/batteries for the vast majority of today's energy that's is not electricity.

We're told solar and wind future But when wind is not blowing and sun not shining? Batteries! Yet Asia uses 25GWh/minute and has 13GWh of battery storage: enough for just 31 seconds 2030: 9m:55s After that, need 100% backup, mostly fossil fuels
