We grow millions of pounds of bananas in the US.

You can grow bananas in greenhouses in the US, and some people do. But if you tried to do it commercially you'd probably have to sell them for more than $10.
They grow just fine at outside my house, but I like the monstera fruit better.
Banana is a tropical fruit, and growing in the US won't make anything cheaper.
with a greenhouse sure
