More than half of new generation built in the US is now renewable. You are correct that a 100% renewable grid is going to be more expensive than a 100% fossil fuel grid, but on a marginal basis (the one by which we make investment decisions), renewables have gotten amazingly cheap. Most grids have plenty of room before expensive storage is needed.
