If we hope to completely remove ourselves from fossil fuels (aviation?) we have to have new and massive power sources like nuclear and we need to be building new power plants TODAY. Some of that $1.2 trillion in infrastructure money should be going to research thorium nuclear or nuclear fusion. We cannot merely cut off today's source of energy, we have to have functional plans to replace it.

We have to find an alternative, solar, wind, nuclear, a mouse on a treadmill, it doesn't matter. We have to sever the ties to this dependence on oil. Not in my life time, but sooner or later it's going to run out anyway.
