Straw man argument......
Who actually argues that?
Secondly, the author assumes no technological advances to make solar and wind PART of a solution.
Do you have an oil rig on your property? I'm trying to figure out what your real objections to solar and wind are. In any case, the rest of the world doesn't agree with this slanted assessment.
Do you ever read the comments to the articles you post? I do.

Your assessment of the solar energy future, despite professional background in this area, is way too pessimistic. Properly designed inverters can easily last for 100 years (except for the electrolytic capacitors which may need to be replaced every 50 years).
As science and technology progresses, the life span of panels will also reach 100 years. The solar systems of today should be compared with the model T built by Ford 100 years ago. In 100 years, solar systems will be infinitely better than the stuff installed today.
Technology has not reached its end in development yet. Material science is only at its beginning. The only limits are the laws of Physics. One of which is the amount of sun energy hitting the earth. On a bright day, that is 1KW per square meter.
That is a lot of electricity indeed. The problem is that it is only available during a few hours every day and that we have not learned yet to utilize more than 10% of that energy. But in time, huge improvements will be made. We are only at the beginning of that development.
Energy crisis solved.

The Fluxcell and Quantum Capacitor energy technologies shrink the footprint of solar cells and electron storage to just a fraction of their size.The Flux Capacitor Solar Cell is able to satisfy the world’s growing demand for a cheaper, cleaner and a more compact and powerful energy source.
It has been irrefutably proven that 120 volts and separately 24 amps (120 x 24 = ~3,000 watts) exists within just 1 square foot of sunlight produced from standard everyday silicon solar cells. 3,000 watts can power an entire house.
Fluxcell, Inc. has taken this fact and other physics truths and has formulated this basis into a unique solar machine. What this means is that just one 10 x 10 x 12 inch machine can power an entire house instead of the entire roof being covered with solar panels. Today’s solar cells can only produce 16 watts per square foot.
By allowing the Fluxcell to supply power to existing technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells, flywheels, compressed air or battery banks, 24 hours of grid free power will be available or a homeowner can be 50% on the grid.
