Let's put it on the computer it'll be quicker; no wait, what happens if the computer crashes, better back it up on another disk. Wait, what if the disk gets damages? Run a printer copy of it and file it just in case. Oh yea and make another copy of it for headquarters and another one to include in our taxes. We may not eventually have a need for pencils, but I doubt if paper and ink will ever dissapear until we make so many copies of what we want to save or distribute on our computers that we've used up all the trees.

We still need baseline power when the sun doesn't shine and the wind speed is low. Solar and wind are supplemental and handle needs over baseline requirements. Baseline power requirements are what is needed to keep the grid powered when the sun don't shine and the wind is low. We still need coal and nuclear until there is technology to store and release energy made by solar and wind.
