Hydrocarbons? What are you using to make your solar cells? Glass? Plastic? Metals? All require energy far in excess that can be currently produced to make them in the first place. If you're one of the believers in global warming, then build nuke plants.

As to solar energy crowds, they would disappear if there wasn't billions in tax credits available. They're inefficient and costly. No tax money, no plant.-

As far as I know, a solar plant cannot melt down or leak vast plumes of toxic steam. Nor does solar have radioactive waste.
Yes, there are necessary tax breaks and subsidies (though I don't think they rank in the billions, like Big Oil). Technologies will improve and economies of scale will kick in to make it much more affordable. -
