Coal - all but dead.
Nuclear - too expensive and takes too long to build/bring them on-line.
Fracking - could easily be brought back from semi-hibernation.
Natural gas - cheap and easy, but requires a LOT of new pipelines.

Other than that, we’re good to go.
Stir the damned pot.

“Coal - all but dead.”

Says who? Coal is still our #1 energy source.

With Coal we extract Thorium for Thorium Reactors. Better than nuclear and the Chinese are moving in that direction.

Repeal all the excess regulations and coal will be king again.

We have technology to use coal cleanly - may not be 100% but why destroy our economy seeking perfection.
