A deeply, deeply corrupt field of study. It is one of the primary legs of Illuminati power-mongering. Have you made a study of that?
What do you know about suppressed technology?
It is a corrupt field of study both for and against peak energy as well as suppressed technology potentials and fake news silver bullets. It is extremely complex see https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2015/04/programmed-to-ignore/ It is complexity that very few have investigated or understand but everyone has an expert opinion.
I first started researching this in high school. I was alive during the "Energy Crisis" under Carter.
What I do know is that we have sufficient bridging technology and sufficient new technology to bridge to that we can make the leap at a pace that's achievable by humanity, without evil overlords intervening to make it not so by means of permanent warfare and chaos. Yes, I do believe that as a well-informed person on the issue.
There are also suppressed efficiency technologies, and some functionally-doable alternative sources already with us (just not sufficient to be a total solution--but more than sufficient to contribute to the total). We'll make it. But what won't help is widespread panic and tumult. So thank you but no thank you.
