But things suck right now anyway. And as taunting a task as it would to do this, it can't be more daunting than continuing using up all the oil in the world in the next 30 years (which will happen much sooner than later) and going "Oh crap, we're fucked. Oops!"

You could cover the entire country with solar panels and still be nowhere near the demand that all electric powered vehicles require.
Same thing with wind.
Same thing with wave.
Same thing with geothermal.
We could readily do it with nuclear.
