As storage technology for solar and wind come online in the near future these sources will start to become base load sources of energy and its at that pt. they will be truly economically able to challenge fossil fuel supremacy. Sadly, it might be too little to late as the planetary change do to carbon pollution is now well underway and there is no chance of stopping it. The best we can hope for is slowing it down.
