I love the game but I keep wishing for a renewable energy source option, or coal/oil sources that are endless. Moving and rebuilding critical systems over large distances is super tedious to me

They've said "no" to "green" energy sources apart from Geothermal because they're too game-breaking. Geothermal gens can only be placed on a finite number of geysers, so they don't have quite the same problem.

As for coal/oil, though: all resource nodes in the game are infinite and generate a constant supply of material. Your coal + oil power systems will keep working forever. I've yet to do a playthrough where I haven't left my coal gens up for the entire game, even long after their power output becomes completely insignificant compared to what I've built later. The only nonrenewable resource in the game is, weirdly, the leaves+wood you'll often be collecting in the very early game (when you just have Biomass Burners), since foliage doesn't respawn.

Also: there's never a need to move + rebuild systems. You can do it if you want, of course, but that's a choice you make, not a necessity. As you expand and build new factories all over the (gigantic) map, you can just leave your existing stuff happily producing material as-is. Those factories aren't gonna stop working.
