Help me understand: isn’t solar a dead end? The sun doesn’t always shine, we need to 10,000x our battery capacity to run the world on solar, and we’d be strip mining the Earth for those battery metals. 

Nuclear is the only way. Obsession with solar only furthers oil (see Germany).

Lithium ion batteries aren’t the only method we have of storing energy. Think hydrogen, pumped hydro, gravity storage, etc. Of course it varies depending on what country you are. 

In Australia we have super spaced out infra and population, we don’t even have a single grid, so nuclear is a mid option for here imo.
