A. There is an entire subdivision of solar homes that were just built in Sacramento CA.

A. Other stuff besides the war had an effect. One of the largest was the sudden baby boom. (more born but also fewer die because of better medicines) you also need to consider the effect of industrialism on the farm(fewer farmers needed) and the resulting move into industrial cities.
