You got downvoted, I upvoted because I share the sentiment very strongly. I keep getting downvoted for much less sarcastic comments that are actually providing actual information on reality. In this case, I find it baffling that they see nothing wrong in needing 22km2 just for a solar panel installation, before even talking about the cost of batteries. Like there is no way that this has no environmental impact and plenty of unsuspected side effects. And that's before talking about the fact that it would be an installation for just one usage, in very good conditions. Solar is getting installed because it makes a lot of money for already rich people, there is not really any other good explanation but they'll ask the public to fund the "bad" CO2 producing installation necessary to make the whole thing viable...
