I don't disagree with your fundamental premise, but "would require an equal amount of backup power" sounds like hyperbole. I haven't read any proposal for "100% replacement" that doesn't take into account energy storage solutions.
I think it's perfectly reasonable to question those solutions, but an equal amount of traditional power generation as backup seems excessive.
