It is not just we can start putting up photovoltaics and boom we would need to bring our electrical grid into the 21st century something we don't have the political will power to do.

From the abstract

However, to reliably meet 100% of total annual electricity demand, seasonal cycles and unpredictable weather events require several weeks’ worth of energy storage and/or the installation of much more capacity of solar and wind power than is routinely necessary to meet peak demand

It goes on to talk about meeting 80%demand and also the issues around transmission.

The bottomline is that it is unrealistic to think solar/wind can consistently and reliably provide the energy needs of this country. There isn't even a path to that point, and there definitely isn't the political will or financial means to make it happen. Nor is it a responsible thing to do when there are better, more effective and far cheaper ways to meet the demand.

There are motives behind the scare tactics of eco-green proponents that have little to nothing to do with the global climate and everything to do with intruding government into the daily person's life.

As I said, take away the private jets and make people conserve in flights would do more for the climate than all the wind towers in Kansas (and there are a lot of them)
