Couldn't disagree more. The point you're making boils down to saying that because it's complicated, we can't rely on reason and rather have to go with gut feeling. The fact is that state of the art research into this does very much consider those points you think aren't being considered, and has been doing so for decades. Here is a link to such research: https://op.europa.eu/s/zX4i https://op.europa.eu/s/zX4i This particular EU project started in 1995. You can easily find much more on Google, from US sources as well if you choose to mistrust EU publications. I'm not commenting with more details ("numbers") because I very much am not qualified to give a detailed, well-founded opinion on this that doesn't randomly leave out half the story. But I do know enough to tell you aren't either, that the way you are talking about this is way under-complex and totally misses the mark in terms of where the state of the art is. One specific way (possibly of many) in which it does so is in ignoring the absurd exponential learning curve that renewables + storage technology is on.
