But there's no reason to not use resources we already have at hand? And what you're suggesting would be better handled with government research grants or private investing.

Except we've already reached 'peak oil' in terms of usage due to the advent of electric/hydrogen transportation. The pipeline is being funded by the private sector, and will increases the efficiency/reduces ghg emissions from the transport of the fuel.

Renewables are not going to be able to replace fossil fuels until we have good storage options. They're already cheaper than fossil fuels, and we'd be shutting all of our coal plants down if renewables were reliable enough.
