Hardly any oil is used to make electricity. Our oil use is in other power uses and cannot be replaced by nukes.

Oil is used for transportation.
Hardly any transportation uses electricity.
That's why we need BOTH nuclear power plants AND electrically powered passenger rail.
Then we won't need as much oil for transportation.

Good luck on that. We don't NEED passenger rail, passenger rail is a dead duck. What we need are cars, cars give us freedom, something the communist who are in power don't want us to have. As I said, you sound like a liberal, I would bet money on it, anyone who is pushing for passenger trains has to be either a total idiot or a liberal(but I repeat myself, as Mark Twain once said). Oil isn't going to run out, I will not submit to some communist utopia day dream of "mass transit" while I am still alive. Drilling for OUR oil makes sense and it will as long as there is a drop of oil in the ground, when that fails we can go to making oil out of the shale oil and coal that we have in abundance in this country.

Long live the internal combustion engine and individual freedom.

Look at China. They aren’t talking like that. Rather they are ramping up car production BIG TIME!
