As much energy from the sun falls on the Earth in one hour as the world consumes in a year. The limits to application of solar power to human energy solutions are limited only by the I.Q. and political will of the people. If they prefer to be subject to corporate oil manipulation with gas prices varying according needs of market control, outsourcing of the nation's capital to Muslim oil producing nations and a retarded transportation infrastructure they can well afford to pay trillion dollar bad bank debt bail-outs and burn gasoline in SUVs indefinitely

The nation's highways could be transformed in to solar photon-electron conversion surfaces with the application of an innovated recoating technology. The energy then could be soaked up by passing electric cars or channeled in to super-conductors under the highways bathed in liquid hydrogen. Homes can be built with exterior surface entirely covered in solar photon-electron capturing materials and used to power electric car recharging. Instant recharge electric car batteries can be brought on-line and the Congress could follow John McCain's proposal to create a Manhattan project for alternate energy development and application.
Solar energy is a first rate substitute for clouds of polluting, choking poisonous fossil fuels produced in radically anti-western nations for deep pocketed corrupting corporatist oligarchic attackers of civil society and democracy through implicit subversion of alternate energy progress to say nothing of the brain damage caused to say many urban children around the world from persistent leaded fuels, benzene and other carcinogenic bi-products of the oil patch. How many have experienced the toluene melt-down of biological integrity and the byproduct of crude crud oil? Yet only when the sun shines presently is the derrick and the domino effect of redistributing the worlds wealth via oil from the first world to Muslim terrorist supporting nations disrupted, and that is the weak link in complete reliance on solar power presently...the worlds mass extinctions have historically been associated with volcanism and great rifts of outpouring magma that darken the skies to such a level of the sun resembling the most dim crescent moon through the clouds on a dark and stormy night. What will the U.S.A. do if a conservative correlation between the present creeping mass extinction on the globe because of wanton environmental destruction and aloof degradation and annihilation of the wilderness develops
