One advanced power line project by itself will cost $88 billion over the next decade as high-efficiency high-tension wires are strung 1,200 miles from east to west. The wires will transport energy to the coastal population centers with miniscule energy losses of as little as 5 percent.<\/p>\n<p>In 1996, the U.S. was the leading manufacturer of solar panels.
