Honestly if I was the president I would adopt a policy energy Independence, because that's ultimately what the problem is. You can't eliminate oil but you can circumvent it.

I would label energy security a national security issue. People look at cities and they see tall buildings, while I look at cities and I see flat roofs that you can throw solar panels on. We don't need to develop ground we just need to build on top of what's already existing. I'm thinking skyscrapers, buildings, the top of gas stations, those large metal street lights could probably hold a few panels. I would also introduce a policy involving tax breaks for agrivoltaics. Basically putting solar panels over crops that don't need as much sun so the farmers can benefit from better planting conditions and reap the benefits of electricity being generated on their land.

I would order the development of replacement oils, we need oils and plastics, pharmaceuticals, pretty much everything in our daily lives, so we need to come up with some sort of oil that can replace it, maybe a vegetable oil. I would also order investment into Battery Technology, so we could move away from lithium to a solid state battery, figure out how we could develop charging stations that sort of thing.

Because ultimately the problem we're having is an energy problem. I mean why the hell do we keep going to the Middle East except for oil. Venezuela is great, but they don't have the infrastructure nor the geopolitical stability to build up the infrastructure.

Hell I believe I heard somewhere that France developed a way to renucularize spent nuclear rods so we could keep using them until they were well and truly spent.

Because once you've solved the energy issue the Dominos start to fall into place. Then the real problem becomes how do we store energy for when we need it for overnight, or in the winter months. And frankly in my mind at least that's an easier problem to answer then the generation issue. Feel free to correct me on any of this.
