I think solar can make a very large contribution. Some night time load can be shifted to the day, hydro dams can be re-filled in the day for use at night, we can reduce power needs for town lighting; natural gas can bridge the gap to fusion or safer forms of current nuclear reactors. Getting past vested interests and political nearsightedness is the biggest challenge.
