So, wind and solar can be used to defer the use of traditional resources, but eventually those traditional resources will be needed.
something that runs continuously is needed, but it could still be renewable; there are also several potential mitigators: efficiency gains, storable electricity (e.g. people's cars being charged while they are parked at work), non-electric storable energy (e.g. solar thermal), and simply rationalizing behavior (using less energy when renewable sources are less)
I'm not against wind or solar, I just don't see the significant growth of their use happening soon.
from 2007 to 2011 wind generation nearly quadrupled in the US and solar PV tripled; partial 2012 stats show PV generation almost doubling over 2011
