Lots of good ideas in this thread.
We're self sufficient in oil and gas, if we want to be.
Electricity demand wise, industry and home use, start building nuclear plants using modern technology. Three Mile Island was a long time ago with technology inferior than available now. The French have been doing this for years.
Bring manufacturing home that's economically feasible over the long term, and become an export giant once again like after WW2. Replace China where we can, the advanced technology sector.
Outsourcing manufacturing to stable Latin American countries is an option not yet fully explored.
We can do this if we have the will, tenacity and motivated political leadership.
Business goes where the money is, stable economic policy is a must.
None of these ideas are new, only their implementation.

Nuclear power in the US is not going to happen any time soon BUT it is starting to pick-up steam as the way to go.
Its becoming more and more evident that solar & wind are not going to cut it for our electricity needs.
Natural gas is quietly making a comeback as a fuel to power our plants.
A NP in Georgia just went on-line after years and years of set-backs.
The NRC just gave approval to a new mini modular NP design.
This could be the door to what our country needs to get the NP ball rolling.
The over 90 NP plants in America are aging, most are now over 40 years old. NP tech, as you alluded to, as advanced leaps since.
We now have Generation III NP plant technology WestinghouseAP1000that has been approved by the NRC.
Europe is doing a 180 degree turn on NP and construction is now in the planning stages for countries like Poland, Ukraine, and the Czech Republic.
Even Germany is having a change of heart on NP.
And I know this comes as a shock but even states like CooCoo-fornia are having a change of heart.
The xiden administration is coming to terms with NP
