Just because you throw money at a problem doesn't mean you solve it.
There's another major problem with solar power. Namely, the Pacific Northwest and any other area that doesn't get much sun.
Solar cells have made tremendous advancements over the past couple years, but it is not even close to being realistic for half the year in many places up north. Hard to get sun when your roof is covered in snow.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
