That depends on the time perspective. The further you look, the more uncertainty.
In 10-20 years perspective it's pretty clear as there is no scalable storage, and Germany is knowingly choosing *certain* excess 20-30'000 human deaths because they chose to keep coal until 2038 and shut down nuclear by 2021.
After 20 years we may have scalable power-to-gas or storage, or we may just as well have nuclear fusion (ITER goes in 2025).
