Perhaps you've not seen some of the reports. I also forgot to mention nuclear power. Some examples:
France derives about 70% of its electricity from nuclear energy In 2020, 16% of the UK's electricity came from nuclear power plants. By 2016 France had achieved a 16.0% renewable energy share of its total energy use Renewables (mainly wind, solar, biomass, hydro) accounted for 43% of the UK's 312 TWh of domestic power generation in 2020 Norway is the largest clean energy producer, as 98.4% of its energy production comes from renewable sources.

Solar panels don't produce at night and most placements are not even 100% efficiency in peak sunlight. Wind does not blow all the time in most places. They both have life cycles which means they had to be disposed of an new ones built. Fossil fuels produce when you need them to. If energy storage were better, then I think you see a bigger move to renewables. We are headed that way, but we are not there yet. Nuclear seems to be best right now, but who's building those plants except the French?

Would like to see more of an interest in Thorium-based nuclear power. Not sure why it's not taken seriously.
3 US planned nuclear sites are noted in the chart, here, one of which begins construction next year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_the_United_States

I looked into that and I heard that the need for molten salts would be too corrosive on the equipment, among other drawbacks.

The solution is to have the modular tank sections replaced every 10 years. It's big but the waste is far less and easier to deal with than other energies.
I don't know what other drawbacks you're referring to.
Keep looking at it. ZZZTheyZZZ are keeping it from us.
Even gasoline has a lifespan before the jelly.
