Fine. There's wind turbines, geo thermal energy, big dams appear to be a proven tech too (albeit one with high impact on the environment).

They might be wind turbines and big dams are proven tech but they don't produce enough energy to go off fossil fuels as fast as we should.
Geo thermal is potentially harmful when you mess something up. Maybe you can get an vulcano if you mess up that kills a lot of people.
We don't know how we effect the working of the earth if we use up the Geo thermal energy.
We have learn't that messing around with our atmosphere isn't that good of an idea.
Are you sure that messing around with the deepest level of our earth couldn't produce huge problems?
The long term effects of Geo thermal aren't clear at all, so you can't realy call it proven tech.

No, sticking nuclear waste in a vault deep under ground is not a solution! It's a workaround, at best.

It's a solution. It isn't perfect but it's better than what we do with the waste of burning fossil fuels.
