Another option that a lot of people ignore is switching the energy grid to a mixed system, with nuclear energy and renewable energy sources mixed in. Make no mistake, I'm not blind to the fact that nuclear energy has its issues, but unless we manage to solve every problem with energy storage and generation it looks to be the most effective for certain roles on the energy grid.

And it's quite likely that we are never going to be quite rid of fossil/oil based fuels. There are a number of roles where chemical energy storage like that simply performs vastly better than electrical energy storage.
