Solar and wind:

-are incredible for off grid applications (i.e. where there is no reliable electricity/grid)

-can be useful backups on a small scale

-are unreliable energy sources

-are intermittent energy sources

-are low density energy sources (as compared to coal, nat gas, hydropower, nuclear)

-at grid scale increase significantly the cost of electricity

-at grid scale fragilize the grid

-at grid scale cannot replace reliable high density energy generation, as westerners do not find blackouts acceptable

-have been pushed by cantillionaires at the eulag, and both sides of the US uniparty by way of diktat, subsidy, penalization, and other forms of central planning

Storage has improved significantly in efficiency / cost though so it is better than it used to be

Storage is great for a homestead scale application.

Grid scale “storage” provides ~seconds of runway at very high cost.
