By the end of next year - there will be greater than 1 terawatt of solar module manufacturing capacity. Far more than any other energy source ever, including accounting for capacity factor. (pv-magazine-usa.com)

Geothermal is great steady state load option that is also renewable, with no nuclear downsides. New systems use oil/gas drilling tech to dig large closed loops anywhere that output power in the 10MW range.
