For every renewable watt used there must be traditional watt of capacity. See a windmill has 0 energy capacity if the wind isn’t blowing. Then what? You fire up the coal, oil, gas, or radiation.

You are wrong, the renewable grid will look nothing like fossil grid, which actually isn't a grid but a collection of interconnected spoke and wheels of highly centralized power.

With renewables, generation will be vey dense and decentralized and batteries will be everywhere the will be large grid batterys installed all over and behind the meter batteries will be everywhere and even associations will be installing batteries.

The HVDC power lines will be everywhere with the capability moving large amounts of power for very long distances. The renewable grids of the future will span nations.
