problem is solar and wind are variable and not feasible everywhere. for places like australia solar is amazing. Winter in canada? not so much. So for a baseline you’d have to store a massive amount of energy in some way.
if you plan on batteries that requires lots of precious metals we will need elsewhere to aid in the transition to electric power.
The problem is something else. Energy in winter canada shouldn’t be used to power factories, the industry should be moved south but you have invisible lines on a map preventing that from ever happening.
The UK has one of the largest wind farms in the world, I think it actually is the largest in the world. One of the wind farms was built just off the coast of Scotland right next to trump’s golf course and I’m sure it was built mostly just to annoy him.
Solar however is a lot less reliable, just because it’s not particularly sunny here and also with it being so far north during the winter the nights are quite long.
The government says that the intention is to go 100% renewable but what they actually mean is as much renewable as possible, plus nuclear cover the load. No one thinks you can 100% be on solar and wind.

Offshore wind is constant.
Hydro energy to the rescue.
Umm, what about sodium-ion that are now getting put into production?
the studied location is the UK
