Other than a single "anti-renewable energy in all forms" poster this is something many here have said.

Once again other than a single poster nobody has said renewable won't be a part of future energy landscape just that it won't be all of future generation.
We aren't going to 100% renewable energy without a massive infrastructure upgrade. Hell we aren't even going to 40% without spending hundreds of billions of HVDC long distance lines.

10% renewables, 20% renewable, even 30% renewable (in portions of the country) fine. Now what about the other 70%+?
