The Solar Energy Industry Association roadmap 2030 (PDF). I can't find the total cost of the roadmap. Regardless, this is a classic market-state program. It radically increases the opportunity of US citizens by reducing dependencies. Freedom of action enhances opportunity formation. Want an industry of the future? Retrofitting the US economy for solar power is one. Flash forward 10 years.
If energy prices then are volatile (as they are likely to be given the rise of global guerrillas), a state that has incentivised the construction of a decentralized energy infrastructure will be put at an amazing advantage. Systemic shifts take time. The advantage goes to the early adopter. My future opportunity, and yours, is being diminished by a state that doesn't value decentralized energy and prefers to spend its coin on military power.

[BC] I know another country that begins in "A" that needs to consider an industry policy based on innovation, not inertia.
