No. When was that?

Aye, but there's the rub! Solar and wind power are practical as long as the sun shines and the wind blows. But we live in northern Europe, where neither is particularly reliable. And in addition, neither is capable of supplying what the Germans term the "Grundlast" (a basic power supply) on their own. That's why there are still oil and gas fired plants as well as nuclear power stations.
Wind power is fairly reliable on the North Sea coast, but not inland. And as for solar power... we aren't living in Greece or north Africa.
Now, the day people can actually implement a _practical_, failure-free storage of electricity without expensive and limited-life batteries is the day we can _really_ talk about doing without fossil fuels - or nuclear reacttors. Until then, we'll just have to get used to the fact that we can't do without them.
