Of course it would not happen overnight.  And yes, I have given lots of
thought to the myriad issues reagrding these methods of harnessing power.
How come the problem of surface area required for solar energy is tougher
to solve than the problem of area required for toxic waste disposal
combined with the problems created from other energy-related pollutants?

They won't if we don't try them.
