In terms of costs, it looks great. As they write in the article:
A June 2019 analysis from Scottish consulting firm Wood Mackenzie estimates the cost of transitioning the United States to 100 percent renewable energy by 2030 would cost at least $4.5 trillion over that time period.
With a 25-year service life for photovoltaics, purchasing that much power from the grid would cost Americans about $16 trillion. I don't know about you, but spending $4.5 trillion or $16 trillion is a no-brainer.
