We have the ability. It's just that we've decided having a political process with umpteen layers of environmental review, and having "prevailing wage+" labor unions (who contribute to re-election campaigns) do the construction, is more important than having nice things.
(+ the "prevailing wage", of course, being not the average or median wage, but the highest wage out there.)
