Town Bank - The current electrical infrastructure fiasco in Texas shows what a disaster over reliance on renewable energy currently is. People are freezing and dying because the windmills are frozen and therefore inoperable, solar panels are covered in ice and snow, and it has been cloudy for several days in a row. The current problem there is a lack of battery storage for the energy output of renewables. For coal, the storage capability in the piles of coal, for natural gas and oil, the storage is in the tanks and pipelines that carry it. Unless there are buildings full of batteries, no storage exists.
