If you covered your entire roof, back yard, front yard, and your pets with solar voltaic cells. Turned your airconditioner off, unplugged your refrigerator, throw away your clothes dryer and give up hot water you might come close to your 'estimate'.

But that inital investment to be able to accomplish such a thing is well.. alot.

No Solar voltaic is not at that kind of efficacy yet.

I hear a lot of fanciful futuristic arguments. Fission, Solar Power, and so on. I believve if it could be done it would be done.... and for profit.
