Your expectation that renewables will be able to handle 95% of the load without MASSIVE batteries and hence massive costs, is exactly the problem.
As an example, the large solar facility in Arizona produces 15% of the power in January, as it does in June. The batteries or overbuild needed to compensate for this tremendous imbalance in power production can only be offset with absolutely staggering scaled batteries.
...something that never seems to be modeled in the articles pushing renewables.
