Well, the price is irrelevant when solar supply (and wind supply) goes to zero:

Some parts of Canada have large amounts of hydro. Others do not.
I'd rather use hydro to reduce/eliminate gas plants:

Looking at the variability of renewables, I do not wish for the grid in Ontario (where I live) to be more dependent on them.
