First, solar energy is not really a substitute for oil, which is primarily used for transportation.
But just focusing on solar how much more are you willing to pay for electricity if it is generated by solar, geothermal or wind power? Consumers want everything - clean energy, without risks at a cheap price. Right now, it is impossible to use alternatives without meaningfully increasing the price of electricity.
