FWIW, the US is only slightly behind Germany in PV solar generating capacity per capita, and IIRC is building out both solar and wind faster per capita than pretty much anywhere else.

There's lots more to do. There are certainly things to complain about (c.f. Florida regulatory capture, something I would believe but know nothing about). But the US isn't really "behind".



On the whole solar is massively more practical in the US than Germany.

Northernmost most point in the continental US is about on the same latitude as as the southern most parts of Germany.

In much of Europe solar is pretty much useless during winter
