Every positive step with renewables is a step in the right direction in my opinion. Our future depends on it.

However let's stick with the facts. With today's current technology we are a few generations away from the tipping point.

The hope is as the article states that new technologies will prove themselves in the future which will facilitate the efficient storage of renewable energy when the sun is not shining, the wind is not blowing or where solar and wind energy are not viable.

Until we have proven, reliable and efficient storage alternatives this is all conjecture.
