We're going to need a lot of solar panels
250 miles is a totally normal distance for high voltage AC electrical transmission lines.

Running normal high voltage lines 250 miles isn’t free, and that cost should be part of the comparison used.
Also, the cheapest land I found was 4k/acre, still well above pfdietz’s estimate.

I don't think I've posted any land cost estimates, elsewhere in this thread I mentioned how many warehouse roofs in NJ, Staten island and long island have no solar on them.
