Can you explain what you mean by "green energy hoax [that] barely sustains communities on earth"?
Renewables are part of having a diverse power grid and because of the investment needed they are situated in areas with consistent/reliable wind/solar radiation.
I drive past the massive wind farms of Minnesota and he Dakota's regularly - they are almost always generating electricity. My understanding is that the US has significant potential renewable energy reserves.

Edit. Wikipedia suggests that about 14% of the US grid is currently renewables (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_the_Unit...) - that seems far from "barely sustaining".
The map of potential for wind alone suggests great potential - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wind_power_potential_ma...
