Help me understand: isn’t solar a dead end? The sun doesn’t always shine, we need to 10,000x our battery capacity to run the world on solar, and we’d be strip mining the Earth for those battery metals. 

Nuclear is the only way. Obsession with solar only furthers oil (see Germany).

Any competent energy policy will utilize pretty much everything available. 10 years ago folks would have said the cost of solar panels was too high for it to be viable. Prices on solar panels came done. Now folks are saying that the resource constraints for batteries is too much. That problem too will be resolved.
