Why.
we have way more hydrocarbon substrate than we need, and we can use LNG for ground transport and Jet-a for air, essentially indefinitely if we stop doing stupid stuff like burning gas to make electricity.
we can make energy with current fission technologies now indefinitely, and much better technology exists.
(how many US naval nuclear vessels have had accidents?)
