A hybrid car needs gas to power the batteries so it isn’t plugged in at the end of the day. Also, the power generated by wind and solar energy isn’t nearly as much as is generated by the other sources out there.

We have invested 100′s of Billions in those programs already, and they are still 10 years away from being viable.

Yes, it could.
And it would have the same effect as the rest of the hundreds of billions of dollars worth of subsidies and research grants we have given the alternative energy advocates. Nothing.
Alternative energy has promising us a great deal for 30 years and never delivered on those promises. Why should we believe them now?

We could but then the people who contribute to Republican campaigns would be angry because it would cut into their record profits.

Millions of dollars have been sunk into alternative sources for half a decade and we haven’t advanced much in 50 years. It’s a sink hole and still isn’t practical. Maybe oil companies do get a tax break, but did you know that the US government makes more in taxes off those same companies than they make in profit? Grow up.

Fair question. Let’s say that there are 100 million households in the USA, just to use round numbers. That’s $ 40 per household. So it’s not enough for a private individual to do much.
It wouldn’t be equitable to decide just to give this amount of money to one company or another to build wind or solar, so it would likely be awarded in the form of other tax breaks – possibly helpful. If one could get past the oil lobby.
On the other hand, let’s use a round number and assume that the Iraq war costs $ 4 trillion over its course. That’s $ 40,000 per household, more than enough to buy solar panels to cover the roof of every household (but not every business), and have a surplus of electricity, which would help to power plug-in hybrids. There are real-life reasons why this wouldn’t happen, but it illustrates the magnitude of the numbers.
