It's now
cheaper to build out solar and wind capacity than coal capacity. Some electric providers are voluntarily shuttering coal plants because it's cheaper to move to other technologies.
Will those two alone solve the problem? No. That's why work continues on those and many others (including nuclear, which is almost certainly going to have to be piece of the puzzle).
Regardless, I'll never understand the mentality that "this won't solve the problem tomorrow, so why does anyone try?" Progress takes time and effort.
