dude which world do u live in?? hydrocarbons are the ones killing our planet..dont u realise that?? HCs can be supplemented by wind,tidal,hydro electric, fuel cells, solar etc. The govt is providing huge subsidies to HCs which is the reason for for our huge trade defecit. If the same money is invested in development/invention/promotion of alternative energy then we'll have a better world to live in and also frees us from the dictumns of west and middle east. Offcourse I dont consider nuclear fuel as an alternative to HCs as its more dangerous than HCs.
