With about 10,000 sq km of solar, with storage - would alone be enough to power the ENTIRE US grid. Cover large roofs, and parking areas, and capped land fills - and I am sure we could get much more than we need.
Add wind (land and off shore) and wave, tidal, biomass, geothermal - and we can get as much as
16X the energy we need.
Here's a plan to do 100% renewable energy:
Our 100% Clean Energy Vision - The Solutions Project
This will pay for itself in short order with big reductions in health problems, and reduced premature deaths; never mind climate change.
