There's not much wrong with using fossil fuels but we should consider the tradeoffs here. It takes time and opportunity cost to spin up the infra required for solar energy so it is not practical to do it in an instant.

we did it for the fossil/oil infra, and that inarguably takes more time and energy compared to building solar farms.
Why do you think we don’t do it now? Simply lack of knowledge?
