How is more economical to pay for a build for a fossil fuel than to sell to yourself for a renewable.
New levels of stupid.

Uh solar panels cost a bunch of money to make and they take a ton of space, which means buying extra land

They make them? They would likely have the lowest price per kwh achieveable in history given their size and current costs.
The absolute size of their premises is also ridiculous.
There is no way this is not a bad decision or else there is a political apect.

The Republican party is a religion with two and only two commandments: Racism and fossil fuels.
