And if you can, invest in oil/energy/batteries/supporting industries.

Hydrogen is considered renewable energy

Also, Nuclear is not clean energy. While nuclear reactors do not emit carbon dioxide at the point of power generation, the nuclear fuel chain is responsible for carbon emissions during mining, milling, enriching, construction, transportation, and decommissioning.

There seems to be alot of misinformation/contradiction just in those two lines of your post

Not according to most sources. Wind, Solar, Hydro, Wave/Tidal, Geothermal, and Biomass are typically considered 'renewable'.

Nuclear is clean energy. The process of generating electricity from nuclear fission produces zero C02.

According to the Nuclear energy association:

Nuclear power plants produce no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, and over the course of its life-cycle, nuclear produces about the same amount of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions per unit of electricity as wind, and one-third of the emissions per unit of electricity when compared with solar.

It should be added that Nuclear generation is stable and continuous unlike solar/wind.

You probably should do more research on the subject before labeling it 'misinformation' or a 'contradiction'.

But democrats and the greens keep pushing for expensive and unreliable solar/wind generation that will serve to increase electricity prices across the US. This will negatively effect our economy which will have a greater impact on the poor and middle class.
But hey, think about all the climate that was fixed!

We should ramp up burning fossil fuels for cheap electricity and expedite building nuclear/hydrogen/natural gas power plants while sprinkling in a little wind/solar/battery storage. The countries around the world (incl. USA) aren't going 'fix' the global climate. It's facetious to think we will.
