"we don't have anywhere near the resources required to build all that storage."
Sources?
There are lithiumfree batteries, made from cheap metals. Saltwater batteries for example.
Airpressure as energy storage.
Hydrogen or more processed into methanol ....
Etc., etc. all working technology as of today.
And sure, sure, storage comes with lower efficency, but there is no reason, we cannot transform the various deserts into big solarplants.
Fusion would be awesome to have. But I see no indication, that it will be ready anytime soon, when we need it, to produce clean energy at scale. And if it is ready, we probably still need resources, like Helium-3. Ready to mine the moon?
