We need to emulate German success and shift as much as possible to solar energy. A big part of the US is on the same latitude as Germany. Since the industrial revolution in the UK 200 years ago, societies had to learn to adapt to change and get re-trained with more advanced skills. Time to get all fossil fuels to rest, for good. Humanity used them for far too long.
