Sad but not surprising. The US is too short sighted these days.
By my math, solar panels covering an area the size of Connecticut would provide enough electricity in 8 hours a day to power the US for 24 hours a day. Obviously electric power storage of some sort would be required when the sun goes down.
The possibility of getting off coal and most natural gas power generation isn't that far fetched.
