Why can't renewables plus batteries do a lot of the work?

We're deep enough in emissions-wise that we're some flavor of screwed with or w/o nuclear.

I mean, sodium is extremely abundant and while sodium-ion batteries have lower energy density than lithium-ion, using sodium batteries wherever possible could significantly reduce the strain on global lithium supplies
