RE: A Solar Powered Electrical Plant - that could be built right now from parts on Alibaba
Yes it is a matter of will. A few years ago there were all sorts of government incentives for solar which really gave the industry and hence the technology (as well as various projects a push). New politicians came in and scrapped it which basically all but killed the momentum. I wouldn't be surprised if they they leave government to go and work for BP or Shell or someone like that. That is what holds these things back.
Folks out of the University of Utah said they created a Low Energy Nuclear Reactor maybe a decade ago. I think it's pretty possible. Check you the e-cat page about the e-catalyzer. Pretty sure energy has been solved for a while, but since America is an oil company with an army progress isn't tolerated.
You know I wouldn't doubt it. There are powerful interests at play there as you aptly put. Not just nations but global corporations and industry which are in some respects more powerful in terms of being able to tell states what to do.
