Doing something because it's the "most economical" is why we have a climate catastrophe on our hands. Plus solar can't actually provide steady power on it's own and never will be able to. Exotic nation wide energy storage solutions do not exists at our current level of technology. Instead solar/wind has to be offset by natural gas power plants.
