No, the alternative to to go back to what we were a couple years ago and being energy independent. IIRC, for the first time in years the USA was actually exporting oil it did not need.
Speaking of misinformation.
===========================================
What energy independence? USA has been importing massive amounts of Canadian tar sands oil and natural gas for the last 50 years.

WASHINGTON–U.S. energy exports reached an all-time high in 2019 while U.S. imports were the lowest since 1995, marking the first time in 67 years that annual energy exports exceeded gross energy imports, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Net imports have decreased every year since 2016, and EIA says last year’s change in U.S. energy trade was driven largely by decreases in net crude oil imports and increases in net natural gas exports. Net trade of the other energy sources remained similar to 2018 levels.
In 2019, the United States continued to be a net importer (importing more than it exports) of crude oil and to a much smaller degree electricity, and a net exporter of natural gas, petroleum products, coal and biomass.
