I happened to look up what's cheapest overall to install, fuel, maintain while getting my associates in applied science for power plant operations.

If they had bothered to look anything up beyond the name plate watts install cost then they would know solar isn't the cheapest, it's not even a cheaper way to generate power.
It's one of the most expensive ways to generate power aside from oil and thermoelectric.

What other explanation is there?
I see 2 possibilities
1 They are brainwashed, ignorant, misinformed, useful idiots
2 They are knowingly repeating a lie in the hopes that if they repeat it enough times it will become true.
3 I'm open to additional possibles.

Germany is mandating solar be installed. Their electrical costs to consumers have gone up to 150% of original compared to 10 years ago.
By the time they hit their goals they will likely more than double the price of electricity.
