If only we had some way of generating energy independent of oil and fossil fuels.

Unfortunately, we don’t, because those take a long time to build and we keep putting it off.

And the other option requires batteries that take a long time to make.

A more modern and interconnected grid would do a lot already and greatly reduce the demand for batteries. There are many things one can do. But you are right in the sense that they are largely not done. That doesnt mean there exists no way though we know how to do it but we dont.
