Solar, geothermal, nuclear. All they need is proper resources. Stop working on increasingly difficult to find oil and look to something different.

A form of energy that is much cleaner and produces less CO2 than oil is already widely available for about 1/4 of the price of oil.
The increase in demand for that form of energy is not exactly moving quickly.
Even when the market suggests there should be a big shift, the existing infrastructure and equipment in the world makes these changes very slow.
It's not some oil lobby preventing anyone from using cleaner energy sources.
