How will you rate that problem: Not doable at all or impossible? Will take time and huge investment? A must do regardless of cost?

Let's see what happened to the Neanderthals who are without imaginations and thought fire is too difficult, too dangerous and cannot be done.

The USA is now oil independent. Why do we as citizens permit our natural resources to be traded on the international market? Why do we provide military protection for oil companies that price gouge we the people?

But half seriously, Elon Musk proposed a single site 100x100 miles solar in an empty part of a state like Arizona and it will generate enough power for the entire nation.
The problem with that plan is that the power couldn't be distributed to the entire nation. The power grid isn't that interconnected, plus resistance loses would reduce the power getting to the northeast where it's needed. Apparently we use all the fuel oil in the world to heat our houses increasing the diesel prices in tropical Montana.

That's the Trump solution, like what he proposed when he found out Seoul is within striking distance of North Korean missiles, move it further south.
The way things are going, there's going to be a lot of moving in the next 100 years.

I suppose we could pack up those 23 million residents of New England and other areas that use fuel oil for heating and move them to the Sunshine state to take the pressure off of Diesel prices, but paying a dime a gallon more sounds like a better alternative.
