> building a huge amount of solar panel capacity might prove to be highly profitable energy production but it may also not

It's about as sure as the sun coming up tomorrow.

Besides, profit is only one consideration. Energy security is kind of a big deal.

The panels might not prove to be reliable in the long run - breakdowns, output degradation, weardown because of weather etc can happen.

What I read is "We need to eliminate one party to start investing more in clean energy."
