The mistake is to even consider wind and solar for on grid applications the only long term solution is nuclear power and correctly configured can provide all the static energy needs and in the future may provide mobile solutions in some transportation modes
Battery technology is the fastest evolving field on earth. There are amazing alternatives out there. They need in civilization to achieve scale. That's it. Our lack of knowledge and holding federal government governments accountable to good policy is the only thing holding us back.
I find Michael Barnard (thefutureiselecyric.medium.com) very well researched and well reasoned on pumped hydro for long term storage.
