    Back in the 70s the government funded a study which showed that America was already pretty much ready to transition to nuclear or renewable energy with a minimal investment in infrastructure (minimal by government spending standards). Here we are 50 years later still heavily dependent on oil and gas extraction from increasingly depleted sources. We CAN rely on other sources of energy and make them work - it’s the big oil and gas companies that are standing in everyone’s way unable to look or care beyond their own greed.
