There's a few things missing, like where the power's going to come from
(switching oil to coal doesn't look too bright to me; natural gas and
solar [*] might work, and hydroelectric and wind are very clean, AFAIK),
and the energy/weight ratio of batteries versus gasoline or diesel.

Solar can do it.

Only a 100 mile square array setup in our Southwest will provide
America's entire electric energy needs.

At a price of ... ?

Photoelectric panels sell for about nine bucks a WATT.
They're a high-technology item requiring precision
manufacturing techniques that won't respond well to
the usual economy-of-scale perk.

$9/watt? Just cuz you're a dimwitted dolt with little technical
awareness, two words for the clueless: quantum dots.

Show me.

Also show me how such devices can be built large-scale
for cheap.

Come on now ... the world is waiting .....
