#3 is the big one for me. Solar and wind can't be simultaneously "the cheapest form of energy available" and yet also require grid-scale battery technology that doesn't exist--and even if it did exist, would not be economical--and require massive government subsidies (read: taxes stolen from people to fund boondoggles). Why is it the externalities are always ignored by proponents of wind/solar but then discussing other forms of power are nitpicked to death about said externalities? It's almost like wind/solar fanatics hold religious opinions.
