Maybe.
1) Put the solar arrays all through the sunniest areas of the country.
2) Pump or passively drain seawater from the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico into those Sunny areas into holding tanks underground.
3) Lay piplelines from these solar arrays to urban areas.
4) Use the solar arrays to heat the water either through direct sunlight or through active electric elements to the point it's steam.
5) ????
6) Channel the steam through these pipes to urban areas where the steam turns turbines providing electricity.
7) ???
8) probably not profit!

Throw in natural gas, responsible oil production, spend some real money to clean up coal... and maybe throw in some massive solar arrays, wind turbines, using oceanic wave action to produce power and anything else we can think of, invest in it.
