It’s *not* the only viable way.

Solar. Wind. Geothermal.

All viable. The technology exists TODAY. RIGHT NOW. But the construction costs are more expensive than another year of not doing it, so people whose cost-benefit analyses only go as far as this fiscal year (or maybe, sometimes, one election cycle) think it’s too expensive.

The problems are money and politics, more than technology. Capitalism will have to take a back seat to survival. But if you say that to a capitalist, they assume you just want their money and their power.
