In other words, if everyone followed suit, we'd just have intermittent electricity since there'd be no variable non-renewables to smooth things out.



No, they can exist in just zoos for all I care. They've been trying to go extinct for some time now.

A slower pace of CO2 rise would be much easier for the world's organisms to adapt to though, so on that point I'd agree.
And the renewables they purchase when their fossil-fueled power stations go down for annual scheduled maintenance isn't 100% fossil? Like coal-fired power plants,which are down 28% of the time?
