Man, why do you think we've been trying to convince Republicans to stop listening to globalist capitalists on this issue? We can do enough with alternative resources to totally run ourselves. We don't because that wouldn't be good for the global market run by the people who buy your politicians and Fox News entertainers.
We seem to be doing all we can with alternative sources of energy. Two of them depend on weather (solar and wind), not really a good idea for long term stability. If we had solar in space, that would be a good thing.
That pretty much leaves, hydroelectric, coal, nuclear, and oil ofc. Personally, I'm all for nuclear, and I'd love to see them figure out how to cheaply sustain a fusion reaction.
But until we get these "alternative energy sources" fleshed out a lot more than they are now, we still need to rely on the dirtier forms of energy production.
