7. Don't they have a lot of sunshine?

I'm under the impression that California and Florida have plenty of sunshine. I don't know about anywhere else but I do know, here in New York, my electricity bill plummeted the minute I connected to the local solar array. It was almost zero for a couple summer months. (never really zero, but relatively, it sure did feel like it.) Wouldn't it make sense for us to focus on shifting domestic household use to renewable and then relieving the pressure on oil demand allowing for "national security" to have all they need?
