Actually, it wouldn't be very hard to get solar up and running very fast.
Quick and easy answer if to put a solar power unit on EVERYONE'S roof.
Let the stupid energy companies pay for it, too.
One small roof unit by itself doesn't take much off of the grid, but once you start multiplying the units by the numbers of buildings that are out there, and you should get the idea.
The big thing is that since most people are at work during the day, when the demand is typically highest, most of that solar power goes directly into the grid in order to power the coffee makers at everyone's office.
