Distributing the signal wouldn't be an issue. The problem might be that
the network exhibits different phase shifts over such a large geographical
area. I.e., is a zero crossing in Boston coincident with one in San Diego,
*presently*?
It is not. The US is divided into multiple regions with DC interties.
The physical size of the US is about one cycle of 60Hz at light speed!
But that would apply to propagation over copper as well as over air
(more or less) -- assuming you pick an appropriate geographical reference.
One could probably come up with a "tunable" solution if it was
just major generating stations who were the players. (though you
still have to worry about loss of reference)
I don't see any easy/reliable way to do it that also handles
residential solar (and "commercial" solar).
