      is the root cause of the problem engineering, economics, or even politics? that's a question with political consequences.

        "how do we store renewable power so that excess generation can be used at times of high demand" is an engineering problem. but "how can we avoid regular discharges of sewage into rivers" is something we know how to solve, we just aren't trying very hard.
