Why not because of that and because it's a great thing to have?
Why does almost everything here seem to have a need to be absolute?
Same. Nothing in the original post hints that op was unaware of the war.
After I read your comment and the title I might see an angle:
It's a stretch to interprete that considering the war and the need for electricity resulting in the easiest way to get access to independant electricity is solar (because water can't do it and neither can wind).
But depending on the cultural lense it's
A: Duh. Obviously we need solar because the US bombed our grid to dust
or
B: Huh. That sure is a high number of solar panels. My city doesnt have that many panels.
Its a great thing to have, totally. But if this was happening with the primary reason of it being a great thing to have we would be seeing similiar sights in other, developed places too.
