Until you price in storage / making up the numbers with coal and oil at night

  Wind operates at night. Wind and PV are usually good hedges against each other. A 1Ω global power grid is a political rather than technical or economic problem. Batteries are cheaper than you think, and their production is being scaled up rapidly (cars need more than all fixed electricity users). Nuclear isn't too terrible compared to batteries a few years ago, but the current price and forecasts for future prices of each are currently biased towards renewables being cheaper.
