With current technology, it is an unimaginable sum of money, if you're talking about building a balance of renewables and batteries to meet current baseline load targets.

I don't think spending a couple percent of your GDP for the next twenty to thirty years on preventing that is too expensive. Your estimate of the cost is not even in the right ballpark; even if the circumstances are dire enough to call for such drastic spending, renewables are not even a moderately effective way to eliminate fossil fuel dependence.
