The USA had better fossil fuels and by better fossil fuels I mean more coal.
The Soviet Union fell because it mostly had to rely on oil and had no solution against the US petrodollar scheme.. China is already doing better with just half as much coal.

Even cultist theocracies could win against communism with enough energy/electricity sources packed in a small area that can't be easily transported.

This coal advantage is quickly disappearing as solar power and to a lesser extend, wind power, is making inroads. By 2030, coal will be a curse like oil as it's easier to transport than solar and wind, which aren't transportable at all.
