No, I'd rather not be held hostage by Saudi Arabia who can jack up prices anytime they want.

Keep oil production the same but invest heavily in energy diversification which would bring true energy independence.

Nuclear is not bad. But we need to diversify, can't rely on one source of energy.

Not true. Solar, wind, geothermal, hydro are good non-dispatchable sources we can use to diversify.

Not true. We don’t even have batteries that are capable of banking most the energy we get from many of those forms of power

Actually it’s not but keep lying because you’re an ideologue and can’t think outside of what your bullshit political parties tell you to think

How advanced does it need to be? It works, like right now. We need to invest in the infrastructure for it.
