This is a badly argued article. It says the problem with renewables is scale: "Renewables aren’t growing fast enough to even match the torrid growth in global electricity demand." But that's exactly what renewable proponents hope to fix. Nuclear is growing at <2%, so the author's preferred form of energy looks even worse by this measure. It also makes bizarre comparisons between Germany's installed solar base and worldwide growth. Besides being a nonsense comparison, installed base is a terribly misleading way to characterize solar, because most solar was installed within the past few years. Solar capacity is currently growing faster than coal, gas, and nuclear power combined, and its growth curve is exponential. The cost is falling rapidly. Nuclear may have a role to play but solar will be very hard to compete with.
