I only guess because renewables don't yet provide a solid base load power guarantee around the clock in all weather types. The obvious solution is not having so much demand, but we all want to have that cake and eat it.

We are half a century into the climate change problem. How about some better answers? It appears we’ve completely missed the initial goals and will experience a larger temperature increase. 100 million barrels of oil a day. Fossil fuels producing 84% of our energy needs. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2020/06/20/bp-review-new-highs-in-global-energy-consumption-and-carbon-emissions-in-2019/amp/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2020/06/20/bp-review-ne...

With wind and solar we apparently only need 3 days of storage. For median household thats about 3x29kwh. It costs 87kwh*150$/kwh=13,050$ to produce such battery (tho sell it at about 5x markup). Given property prices and how much it costs to upgrade grid, small residential batteries is no brainer.
