It will definitely require a lot more physical space for the arrays than gas costs, but the tech is much cheaper so you can make up for limits in uptake by laying down more PV.

You could. Either way no one’s trying to do that - instead the goal is to replace gas with solar, wind, geothermal, and nuclear together.
