Once you try to replace coal, natural gas, nuclear plants with "renewable" then they get more expensive.
Renewable can make electricity cheaper, but you can only use a few percent of solar and less than 20% of wind to supplement reliable power.
Any more than that an you are chasing a moving target and fossil fuel plants have to idle but stay ready to meet demand when all that renewable power suddenly can't meet deamand.
