I read a decent essay about the difference between solar and wind reliability and fossil fuel reliability.

Solar and wind tend to be regularly and predictably intermittent but not unreliable. That's something you can design around. Especially when you have cheap storage to handle critical loads.

It's instructive to look at California's ISO website's supply graphs over the year. Renewables follow a reliable daily cycle.
