Renewables like solar and wind depend on the weather - which we cannot control at all. Non-renewables have dependencies too like politics and economics but at least it’s something we have some control over.
If solar and wind is to completely replace non-renewables, their intermittency is going to have to be dealt with somehow - and huge excess in generation and storage capacity is only way that comes to mind at the moment.
