Your response to every cost-based objection was "more" and "build it".

> you complained above that I'm not going all in. I'm confused

You've said that spending on solar is necessarily good and the more the better. If you're serious, that's how you've spent your money and every dime that you can borrow.

That's why I asked what you've done with your money. Surely you're not going to say that other people should spend money on something that you're unwilling to go "all in" on. Right?

> In fact I'm opposed to ... if we do it we must do it 100%." I thought that was clear, but I guess not.

Let's review what you wrote.

> That's a lot of solar generators. So the sooner we start, the sooner we'll get there.

> The interesting thing is, just as better computers help us design and build still better computers, increasingly available energy will drive the cost of existing energy down, reducing the cost of energy used to build and maintain new capacity.

Which doesn't imply that spending on solar is a good idea. Spending too much on an energy source leads to less energy, not more. However, the fact that your statement is false doesn't mean that you didn't make it.

and you complained above that I'm not going all in
