Here's one thing the US can do about: take nuclear power seriously.

Also better for international relations. Control the advancement through US capitalist compan's patents. Distribute tech through deals and subsidies with other allied, like-minded, nations. Secure energy sources (Sprott). Reduce dependence on fossil fuels in allied nations (like Europe and Japan's craving for Russian fossil fuels). Plan A is grow cities and grow wealth through cheaper access to more energy--Use Bitcoin mining as backup for extra power where new micro-nuclear technologies are being tried out as a plan B. Bam, soft power.
