Concentrating solar energy collectors with liquid salt heat storage for nights and cloudy days would need to cover about a 100 mile square area in a desert location to power the entire US including transportation. The total estimate for that to be built is around 10-12 trillion $ $ . If you figure we buy 100 billion $ $ worth of oil each year from foreign countries, spent upwards of $ 1 trillion on a useless war in a region rich in oil (don’t tell me oil had nothing to do with our being there, I don’t believe that) and will spend another $ 1 trillion paying for the health care of those wounded in that war, made enough enemies so we will have to spend another $ 1 trillion over the next few years fighting the muslims in the mideast and destroying our environment while making millions sick at a huge cost to the economy by continuing to burn coal I think $ 10 trillion would be a pretty good bargain.
I came accross a new, proven and tested home made wind power system and solar power system which eliminates our electricity bills. It was written by a Renewable energy enthusiasts Michael Harvey the diy called Earth4energy. You can get your copy to save energy and help environment while eliminating your power bills.

That almost an impossible question to answer
Germany is so far ahead of the U.S.
