Anytime alternative sources of clean energy come up there are always comments about the problem with using them (What happens if there is no wind, water, sun etc), or about storing excess energy (we can't create a reliable battery network). The reality is that the fossil fuel sources we currently use had tons of engineering issues that had to be solved for it to work at scale. It took decades but we got there. I'm confident with enough bright minds we can solve all of these problems with clean energy. It will just require time and energy and actual investment that isn't lobbied against by big oil. For example I'm confident that if we commit to nuclear energy we can find a way to get reactors built in under five years. And even if we didn't if enough were being built in parallel you could have one being onlined every year in every state just like how a new phone comes out every year, even though it takes years of development to make the next one.
