This is because we are sending billions of dollars overseas every week! Please consider Concentrated Solar Thermal as America's main power plant. Why? Because CST stores the suns energy as heat for ON DEMAND electricity. CST works by using lots of mirrors that reflect sunlight to heat a fluid which fills a resevoir. CST is the only energy source that can provide the USA with unlimited clean energy! CST would be cheaper than complete CO2 sequesteration needed for clean coal if governments help support its massive deployment. (All energy options have recieved government help) CST would also be cheaper than nuclear (they both need help). CST only uses desert land, not forests. And can supply the world with unlimited energy. Since all renewable energy is labor intinsive, millions of jobs and millions more of secondary jobs would boost the economy such that governments would probably get more taxes back. And finally, CST would be much welcomed by most people, unlike "clean coal" and nuclear. There are very few emissions associated with solar. America is watching the icecaps melt (and our economy too). This is because we are sending billions of dollars overseas every week!
