how do you know it's way off the mark? It's not my suggestion - it's the Professors at ANU. And they've done everything you suggest and more - with years of weather data, and years of estimating various mixes of wind and solar and pumped hydro. They got the mix and it's about $100 billion to clean up our electricity grid.
Then in addition (although this is vaguer) somewhere over $300 billion - or more accurately around $12 billion per year invested (from regular electricity bills at normal pre-Ukraine war prices) - until 2050 to build EXTRA extra electricity to replace OIL as well!

This will be cheaper again when we consider how well off our health system will be without coal and oil particulates in the air - which basically costs itself again in our health budget.
