The U.S. can put up about a terawatt at any given time for a short while, but that isn't watt hours. I see a lot of sites, bloggers and comments confusing capacity (watts) and production (watt/hours). Try to get clarity. On the money, if construction costs can be contained technology across many sources will be viable. Enough electrical power shouldn't be an issue. The wider the sources of supply the better.

He told me that the present cost was $3 per installed watt, and that they were hoping to bring it down to $1/watt in the future. 312 gigawats at $3/installed watt equals about a trillion dollars. It's a lot of money, but about the same as has been spent in recent months by the US gov't to bail out failing financial institutions. Spending that on solar power would have powered our cars for perpetuity. I recently talked to someone who said he was associated with a solar power generating business.
