> The problem w renewables is they are focused on meeting current energy demand.
What does that even mean? That renewables run into some hard limit beyond current energy consumption? That would be wrong.

OOM increases in energy tend to correspond with huge improvements in quality of life. I don’t see renewables getting ya there.
In particular, the levelized cost of renewables are already much lower than new nuclear fission, and fusion will almost certainly be even more expensive than fission. That advantage will make even use of low efficiency storage more economical than baseload nuclear (fission or fusion) plants.
