What effect would trade sanctions have on the USA?

Mostro, I believe we both probably agree on the scope of the problem - the amount of energy production/conservation we are talking about is enormous.

Still, I wouldn't underestimate what could be accomplished in 5 years given the right combination of circumstances (e.g. dire need, political will, capital).

That is theoretical of course - practically, for a number of reasons, it ain't gonna happen, as was your original point I believe.
