"That's a lot... how much do we spend on oil every year?"

That is one aspect. The other is that if we started buying it in those quantities, the price would drop. A lot. Now solar cell grade silicon wouldn't be priced like steel, or even glass. But it wouldn't be nearly as high as it is now.

140 billion gallons of gas per year => $420 billion at the pump.

An $11 trillion dollar solar project would pay for itself after 26 years.
