Solar and wind absolutely has the power density needed to completely replace fossil fuels for stationary (residential, commercial) and storage battery use (EVs and such).

Once you have a lot of solar and wind energy available, it’s no big deal to use thermal storage systems. Yeah they waste about 50% of energy but they also are much more durable and energy dense than any battery storage system using research-stage tech, never mind what you can actually buy.
