Please people, building forty new nuke power plants, or forty clean coal power plants, would make hardly a dent in our oil usage. We use very little oil to produce electricity, less than 2% of our annual production, and that figure is still falling.
Nuke and clean coal would be good for the environment, but they won’t put OPEC out of business.

Uh, cheap electricity means electric cars.
This is the only way to wean America off the Saudis.
