The US has reliable access to cheap fuel, and diesel locomotives are still very efficient, especially compared to diesel trucks.

electric trains are like 2x more powerful, less maintenance and carbon-free

This. With the climate change, any oil powered industry it's doomed from the start.

America's locomotives are diesel-hybrid electrics, so pretty efficient and maintnence is reasonable. You'll see those in Australia and Canada as well, and even China (only 72% electrified, so if you take a train to Lhasa, it will be a diesel hybrid electric...athough they are currently working on an electrified line). 100% of the trans-siberian railroad is electrified, which is impressive.
