Electricity is not a source though. Do you mean solar, nuclear, and such? The demand is already there. It's the supply that is the issue.

Wrong. Storage is the issue. In my town in switzerland we produce a surplus of solar energy, so much that we can't even sell it back to the electricity company.

But the storage is too limited. The surplus during the summer doesn't translate to the winter months so other types of electricity generation is still required.
