Everything else either wastes space or resources.

Thorium-fueled molten-salt nuclear reactors are safe as there is no risk of meltdown AND they can consume various nuclear-fuel types, including existing stocks of nuclear waste.

The energy problem is solved. Those with interests in oil simply need to get out of the way

Other than pumping relatively clean, highly efficient energy right out of the ground, that's the only other way to go that actually works. Algae gas would be great if the math worked, but the arithmetic just doesn't work.

Unfortunately, due to historical details the slim type of nuclear that fits in a submarine became the industry standard, so for several decades nuclear wasn't as safe and clean as it could be. If we can get some of the better type of nuclear plants online that would really help. It would also drastically reduce our reasons to be involved in the middle east.
